리뷰
출판사 줄거리
In Picturing the Uncertain World, Howard Wainer approaches this problem through stories, and every one is a gem. This is territory that has long been dominated by the books of Edward Tufte ... but Wainer's approach is refreshingly different. He has himself been involved in many policy debates and understands well that the same information can be interpreted in a variety of ways to support widely divergent positions... Like two of Wainer's earlier books ... this one makes for very fine reading and would be an excellent text for a general-education seminar. -- Michael Goodchild American Scientist As enjoyable to read as it is enlightening, [Picturing the Uncertain World] includes far more than its title indicates. Throughout, Wainer illuminates many of the big ideas of statistics in ways that help the reader understand and value the ideas. He provides contrasting graphical forms to demonstrate good data displays and incorporates analogies to help readers understand why certain logical arguments are flawed... Anyone would enjoy reading this book. Mathematics Teacher This is a very well-written book with subtle analyses and a refreshing approach to the field of statistics. For information designers the book offers ideal access to the science of uncertainty. Moreover ... Wainer has succeeded in linking together two disciplines: statistical thinking and visual communication. -- Wibke Weber Information Design Journal Howard Wainer's book of the science of uncertainty (his label for the science of statistics), and how to recognize and manage it, is a combination of breezy, clever writing and unique visual examples with tutorials to clarify the technical aspects. It belongs on graphic artist's bookshelves. -- Peter F. Eder World Future Review Even an experienced statistician will find valuable insights in this book of careful thought, clear exposition, and fine visualization. Mathematics Magazine 더 읽기…
