Data Matters by Nicholas Maxwell
With an analytical approach that emphasizes concepts and comprehension, Data Matters provides a crucial introduction to statistics by preparing students to think critically about the most common statistics found in the natural and social sciences. Real data and events taken from the daily news media bring relevance to the subject and turn the general reader into a critical and capable consumer of everyday statistics. With its pleasant, conversational style, Data Matters engages and interests students while it covers the basics and lays a foundation for further study in statistics.This text fits into most non-major statistics courses--those intended primarily for the liberal arts or the humanities, or for quantitative literacy or quantitative reasoning courses. Perfect for students in non-mathematically oriented majors or for general education elective courses, Data Matters is also ideal for continuing education or adult education courses.
Nicholas Maxwell has devoted much of my working life to arguing that we need to bring about a revolution in academia so that it seeks and promotes wisdom and does not just acquire knowledge. He has published eight books on this theme. He has also published many papers on such diverse subjects as the philosophy of the natural and social sciences, the humanities, evolution, quantum theory, causation, the mind-body problem, aesthetics, and moral philosophy. For thirty years he taught philosophy of science at University College London, where he is now Emeritus Reader.
