  1. 1. The Tiger That Isn't

    Seeing Through a World of Numbers

    A clear, accessible guide to understanding and interpreting statistics and risk in everyday life, explaining common errors such as confusing correlation with causation, neglecting base rates, misreading averages and percentages, and falling for sensationalized numbers; it uses real-world examples to show how data and graphs can mislead, and offers practical tools and questions for assessing uncertainty, evaluating evidence, and communicating probabilities so readers can make better-informed decisions.
