The audiobook was beautifully narrated by ['Bryan DePuy']. The tone of the audiobook was definitely not what I expected.

In the 1950s, Darrell Huff released the bestseller book entitled How To Lie With Statistics, which quickly became a classic.

It's now in its 10th anniversary edition with a foreword by Joe Romm of ClimateProgress.org

"No statistical lie can be refuted with mathematics," says Huff. "If you have a case that is based on statistics, it is best to assume that what is being said about the data has some truth to it no matter how many times the statistics has been reinterpreted or distorted." Statistics can seem like the most straightforward and trustworthy set of numbers in the world.
