There are some interesting anecdotes in this book on the power of mathematical thinking.  And, there are some mind twisting concepts.  Here are two for you:<br>- Does .9999... = 1?<br>- Does the series +1-1+1-1+1-1... = 1/2?<br><br>There are additional concepts like this that will excite your mathematical mind (and I only recommend this book for individuals interested in mathematics).  However, most of the book covers probability and statistics - e.g. expected value, Baynesian decision theory, hypothesis testing, etc. (which I love but you might not..)  And, the book covers it with a political perspective, i.e. what is wrong with political polls and why statistics are mis-used in politics, etc.<br><br>I disagree with the reviews that mention this author's bias against conservatives.  Although he may be a liberal, he doesn't bias his writing too much in any direction.<br><br>However, the continual discussion of use and misuse of mathematics in politics can get tiring.
