Really enjoyed this book. It deals with classical statistics and addresses their proper use, as well as identifying some of the common errors of statistical analysis. All of this done in a very readable style. The author tells something of the story behind many statistics, and the more technical aspects are accessible to someone with a little mathematical background (school, not university) and yet contains sufficient mathematical detail to make the statistical calculations very accessible.
