Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
“After introducing the reader to key ideas in probability and statistics, Wells starts to develop ideas of probability based first on random-hazard rates … and then ideas based on our own history of survival as a species, and as a civilization. … the book reasonably accessible to the general reader … . The book is well organized, and is written in an easy style … .” (Robert Connon Smith, The Observatory, Vol. 131 (1222), June, 2011)
