Bad Data: how governments, politicians and the rest of us get misled by numbers.
Bridge Street Press. 2022
In Bad Data, House of Commons Library statistician Georgina Sturge
shows how governments of the past and present have been led astray by figures
littered with inconsistency, guesswork and uncertainty.
With stories that range from the troubling to the empowering to the downright absurd,
Sturge reveals the dangers of relying too heavily on the numbers
and charts a smarter way for living in a world fixated on data.
