Trust in Numbers
Editorial Reviews
Jon Turney
A fine, scholarly account of how numerical measurements are used both to standardize results and to communicate them unambiguously.
Ann Oakley, British Medical Journal
The essence of science is quantification, and this is what holds Porter's fascination. The book is an engaging attempt to account for the prestige and power of quantitative methods in the modern world.
