The second edition of News & Numbers builds on the tradition set by the original book, emphasizing clear thinking and commonsense approaches for understanding, analyzing and explaining statistics. Terms are explained in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language.
This updated edition contains new material in every chapter. New3 features include:

- Sections on reporting disease outbreaks and evaluating managed health care plan
- A section on focus groups
- Information on using the Interne
- Dozens of new examples of numbers in the news
