Someone need to update this book, seriously

[Van · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just one out of many on this broad but so important topic. All public school teachers should seek this information and learn it backwards. This book in particular is a good introduction to the math involved in examining and even challenging the logical fallacies and sometimes misleading or incorrect data propagated by the news media.
