'This book belies its title. By his own example, Nicholas Eberstadt proves that statistics need not lie or obscure. They can illuminate subtleties, expose falsehood, and focus attention on real problems instead of distractions. Along the way, Eberstadt also demonstrates one of the best-kept secrets of social science: the better the statistician, the easier the reading.'- Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve | The Tyranny of Numbers by Nicholas Eberstadt, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
