Rachel Watson –
I really enjoyed this book. Not only because I learned a lot about deciphering statistics but also because it was a fun read! I didn’t think books on such a -presumably – dry topic could be this entertaining. And I finally nailed down what the Bayesian theorem is! Like holy moly! Sure, I won’t be able to create a full-blown analysis BUT I will know what to look for when I see one. And that’s all I really wanted to learn here. This book delivered its promise.
James Brown –
Bravo! I was caught off guard with how well researched this book was (You can tell the author put their heart and soul into this). The author took the topic of statistical analysis, and pulled the curtains back to show the average person, who hears all types of numbers being thrown around on a daily basis (tv, film, work, school, etc.) how they’re being manipulating “without us even realizing it.” I really enjoyed this read – Would definitely recommend.
Adam S –
From the very first page, the book had me hooked. The author’s use of relatable examples effectively brought the concepts to life, making for an enjoyable reading experience. The author’s insightful exploration of the prevalence of statistical techniques in our daily routines was eye-opening.
J Morelan –
It is astounding to the Casual Observer just how easy it is to misrepresent statistical data.
This book reveals a side of statistics that is seldom covered in this clear presentation.
Well done Albert Rutherford.
LeeO –
I’m happy I read this book. Some things were just a reminder from my good ol’ high school days but others were eye-opening ideas that I will definitely incorporate in my daily thinking habits. Mathematical thinking is not really about using numbers but to assess critically what those numbers mean.
SharpRead –
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles of statistics without delving too deeply into complex calculations. It is an ideal read for individuals who wish to grasp the essence of statistics when encountering it, but may not possess the requisite skills to perform intricate calculations themselves.

As someone who isn’t inclined towards math, I discovered this book to be incredibly helpful for brushing up on fundamental knowledge.

This book was a wonderful surprise. I really enjoyed how the author, Albert Rutherford, provided real-world examples of each lesson in the statistics he presented. The examples made me stop and think about statistics in an entirely different way. I took statistics classes in college and found them bland but necessary for my studies.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you like statistics or not. It will open your eyes to the world around you. Did I say I loved it? Well, I really did.

I took couple courses in college about statistics and it really opened my eyes to how much of the data and knowledge is derived. Statistics is every where, it is used to determine what should be the proper dose of medicine to calculate who’s leading the presidential race. However, statistics is only as good as it is interpreted and applied, so it helps to get a basic understanding of statistics so you can make your own, better informed judgements

It’s far to easy to be fooled by strong opinions, myopic media and junk science. This book provides an antidote to help in finding more truth in an ever growing world of half truths and magical thinking.

Explains statistical terms in a simple manner. Anyone who’s does not know statistics should read this as a primer. The examples are easy to understand.
Trish Allison –
We live in a data-driven world. No doubt about it. I never imagined there was a way to interpret complicated data without the use of heavy statistical numbers analysis. This book opened my eyes to a new way of interpreting data trends without having to get into the nitty gritty of statistics. What a fantastic addition to modern thinking!
Steven Kelley –
Information is all around us and when you have that sixth sense that what you are being told just doesn’t add up, you are likely right. This book on statistics can help you decipher good science from bad, and reliable results from unreliable. If you’re like me, statistics in school was like learning another language. This book breaks down statistics into easy to understand concepts with plenty of examples. In this day and age where data literacy is critical, you have in your hands ways to be a better citizen.

It’s an absolute tool perfect for my teaching arsenal that would help my students a lot. It really made mathematics for the rest if us.

I used this in preparing for an undergraduate statistics nursing course. I found the examples of everyday statistics helpful.
Kurt Petrey –
In Rutherford’s book, stats come alive,
No dry equations to strive and strive.
It’s like a chat with a wise old friend,
Simplifying numbers from start to end.
No need for math skills, it’s plain to see,
A guide to stats for you and me.
In a world of data, so vast and wide,
It’s a beacon of clarity, a helpful guide.
So if you’re lost in a sea of digits and charts,
Let Rutherford’s words soothe your heart.
For in this book, a treasure you’ll find,
A poetic ode to the statistical mind.

“Statistics for the Rest of Us” is a valuable resource for anyone who finds numbers intimidating.

The book is particularly impressive in its use of real-life examples to debunk common statistical myths, making the material not only educational but also thought-provoking. The book is simple to follow, but some sections might feel too basic for readers with a bit of statistical background. Nonetheless, its clarity and practical approach are extremely helpful for those new to the subject.
