A decent introduction to probability and statistics with a few human interest stories about the mathematicians involved, just to add colour. The book is written in a pleasant, conversational style, and I really enjoyed the Shall We Dansu? reference. Oh, and a physically attractive book, with a really nice cover image and good texture.

Ultimately, I thought the book was trying to be too much for the space it had, and ended up being too little for any of the target audiences – not enough math for those interested in the science, and I’d suspect not enough human interest and/or business application for the rest of the readers. I’d’ve liked to have seen this book expanded, with greater depth in one direction or the other.
