 Conquering Statistics - Numbers Without The Crunch

For many of us, mathematics is like dental care--undeniably important, extraordinarily painful, and best ignored as long as possible. Jefferson Hane Weaver, an author who specializes in demystifying complicated scientific concepts, disagrees with this public perception and has set out to debunk it in Conquering Statistics: Numbers Without the Crunch. Although it may not seem possible, the result is a consistently entertaining and extremely helpful guide to numbers and their practical everyday applications.

Book Description

Take the first step toward a whole new world of statistical prowess with this delightful, easy-to-follow guide.

Writing specifically for the statistically scared, Jeff Weaver exposes the mathematics behind statistical analysis and shows how an understanding of probability, standard deviation, margins of error, and test groups can help in the reader's understanding of everything from the lottery to national polls to scientific data. With vivid and humorous examples, Conquering Statistics opens the world of statistics to the average reader as well as the student and offers an invaluable look at the science behind the statistics.

3 out of 5 stars Too Funny for the Statistical Neophyte.......2007-04-25

I think the author spent the better part of his effort trying to channel Dave Barry into his writing. The effort failed and thus failed in the grander goal of educating the reader on the topic of statitics via the use of humor. Streamlining the jokes would reduce the book to a fraction of its size and maybe deliver some of the lessons from their imprisonment in a joke world. Ironically, additonal graphs and tables would have helped the reader in following the argument. If you are interested in a beginners guide to statistics, a more traditional text is preferable.

3 out of 5 stars Fun.......2003-03-09

I agree entirely with the point made by the other reviewer - actually Weaver's "What Are the Odds?" is far worse. There are ten pages of jokes for every page of useful data.

I read this book not for enlightenment but for entertainment. It's a fun way to waste time.

2 out of 5 stars Tries too hard to be funny.......2001-11-15

I give the book two stars only because, if you can get through it, it does a reasonable job of providing basic definitions of statistical terms. I was looking for a review of the subject and it does accomplish that.

I cannot recommend the book at all, however, for anyone trying to learn statistics, even at an elementary level. The author tries way too hard to be funny, presumably to make the subject less intimidating to the mathematically-challenged. Unfortunately, the humorous examples do nothing to enhance understanding, but instead just get in the way. The worst fault is that the stories go on for so long that the reader gets impatient to find anything of value relating to the subject matter.

Finally, I found the book to be condescending towards the reader by failing to include any formulas or diagrams. Again, this is presumably to avoid being indimidating to the general reader, but it ends up making things more confusing with long narrative descriptions of what should be fairly easy topics.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent "describe the subject as a whole" book.......2002-02-15

      Excellent collection of essays from different authors/sources covering the ecological design in many aspects. Each chapter is concise and to the point. Both general and practical information is provided. Chapters on the future of eco-design are included. It is also a pleasure to read.

      3 out of 5 stars Not a bad book but could have been better.......2001-08-25

      This is a good book but readers would be better off getting Permaculture a Designers Manual, by Bill Mollison first, and then use this book as an additional reference for more ideas. as the editorial reveiw says it is an A-Z reference. Permaculture a Designers Manual is a how-to reference which I beleive makes any book more valuable than an A-Z reference and this is the only reason why I am giving this book 3 stars.

                Providing students and practitioners with a detailed overview of the key theoretical and applied issues, this book is a comprehensive and integrated primer on regeneration. The various chapters: review the history and context of urban regeneration; consider funding implications; look at environmental, social and community issues, as well as employment, education and training; focus on managing urban regeneration; consider land use issues; and discuss monitoring and evaluation. The book concludes with a comparative analysis, with examples from America and Europe, and a discussion of future trends. The book represents the first systematic overview of urban regeneration in one volume and is set to become the standard reference work. As such, it will be required reading for practitioners involved in regeneration, and students of urban studies, planning, architecture, and estate management.

                  Book Description

                  Between 1996 and 2002, the Trust for Public Land helped communities design and pass ballot measures that raised more than $28 billion to fund parks and open space across the country. With growth and sprawl rapidly overtaking their open lands, communities are voting in record numbers to put money aside for conservation. Voters are coming to recognize the interrelationship between conserved land, a safe environment, a strong economy, and a livable community. Well-designed finance measures that reflect the unique conservation needs and funding capacities of their communities have a much better chance of passing.
                  Writer Kim Hopper and the Trust for Public Land's team of conservation finance experts have put together a soup-to-nuts handbook on park and conservation funding. Designed for community leaders and involved citizens, local government officials and conservation professionals, this how-to guide explains the complex process of securing federal, state, and private conservation funds and—most importantly—researching, designing, and passing a local, voter-approved conservation finance measure. This book covers a range of campaign issues, from fundraising to field organizing to legal considerations.
