Thinking Clearly with Data: A Guide to Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis

very pragmatic view of facts and figures

Great read and lucid exposition! The authors do a great job presenting the basics as well as the nuances of various quantitative reasoning techniques. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to drive actions based on data.

I benefitted immensely from reading the book. It raises my alertness to possible pitfalls in claims from statements based on quantitative data.

Written in a very understandable way. This book gave me knowledge to identify noteworthy information in such a difficult situation in the world.

This book is optional for my class but I think it does a pretty good job of explaining the concepts. The e-book version, however, is missing material. Every now and again, a sentence won't make sense because it's missing components (e.g., "Had we divided by instead of , then it would tell us how much X changes on average,..."

I bought this book for my university course. I am surprised again (also seen in other course textbooks) that there is another example regarding vaccine hesitancy and benefits of getting it or not getting. It feels like every textbook written in Canada, offered in Canadian schools babbles on about vaccines in at least one example. It is so sickening, I hope the authors are not long lived in making future textbooks. Buy it if you need it for school, otherwise let it rot on a shelf somewhere.
