The concept of basketball "analytics" has been lauded, derided, and misunderstood. The incorporation of more data into NBA decision-making has been credited—or blamed—for everything from the death of the traditional center to the proliferation of three-point shooting to the alleged abandonment of the area of the court known as the midrange. In The Midrange Theory, Seth Partnow explains how numbers have affected the modern NBA game, and how those numbers urge us toward thinking about it in new ways.

Using research from neuroscience, psychology, social science, as well as captivating examples of real people doing extraordinary things, Tim Harford explains that the human qualities we value – creativity, responsiveness, resilience – are integral to the disorder, confusion, and disarray that produce them.

Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data.

Sometimes, the unscrupulous deliberately try to mislead us. Other times, the well-intentioned are blissfully unaware of the mischief they are committing.

By the end of on average day in the early 21st century, human beings searching the Internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information - unprecedented in history - can tell us a great deal about who we are - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than 20 years ago seemed unfathomable.

Bayes' rule appears to be a straightforward, one-line theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective new information, we get a new and improved belief. To its adherents, it is an elegant statement about learning from experience. To its opponents, it is subjectivity run amok. Sharon Bertsch McGrayne here explores this controversial theorem and the human obsessions surrounding it.

We are often told that hard work is the key to success. But success isn’t about hard work - it’s about shortcuts. Shortcuts allow us to solve one problem quickly so that we can tackle an even bigger one. They make us capable of doing great things. And according to Marcus du Sautoy, math is the very art of the shortcut. Thinking Better is a celebration of how math lets us do more with less.

Description
From “one of the great (greatest?) contemporary popular writers on economics” (Tyler Cowen) comes a smart, lively, and encouraging rethinking of how to use statistics.
Today we think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us. That’s a mistake, Tim Harford says in The Data Detective. We shouldn’t be suspicious of statistics - we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us”. If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearly - understanding how our own preconceptions lead us astray - statistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter.
As “perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world” (New Statesman), Tim Harford is an expert at taking complicated ideas and untangling them for millions of readers. In The Data Detective, he uses new research in science and psychology to set out ten strategies for using statistics to erase our biases and replace them with new ideas that use virtues like patience, curiosity, and good sense to better understand ourselves and the world. As a result, The Data Detective is a big-idea book about statistics and human behavior that is fresh, unexpected, and insightful.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Lively, crystal-clear, and insightful explanations of how data are increasingly affecting our lives - a phenomenon that every educated person should understand.” (Steven Pinker, author of Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters)
“[Harford] expertly guides us through the many ways in which data can trick us.... Though numbers are at the core of The Data Detective, it’s emotion that wields...power, affecting not only how we respond to data but also how we absorb it in the first place.” (The Wall Street Journal)
“Harford is right to say that statistics can be used to illuminate the world with clarity and precision. They can help remedy our human fallibilities.” (The New Yorker)

Harford delivers what humankind needs
Tim Hartford is a triple threat; he is intelligent, engaging, and witty. This book will appeal to curious minds everywhere and explain to them that some of the pitfalls of interpreting statistics are avoidable with a bit of honest humility and effort. Maybe most importantly, since we are currently in the grips of public health crisis, the timing of this book is impeccable.
The enduring message of his 10 rules, and the stories that explain them, is that we shouldn't just throw up our hands and assume that statistics are simply the tools of fake news because they can be manipulated or misinterpreted in the wrong hands. Instead we should embrace statistics and dig deeper to understand them as a valuable window to the truth.

Required reading (listening) for all!
On occasion, there is a book that is a “must read” for everyone, regardless of their interests, political beliefs, educational level, or any other world views. This is such a book. Do yourself – and the rest of humanity - a favor, and read/listen to this book at least once.

We need more Tim Harford's
I've listened to Tim Harford for many years on the More or Less podcast, as well as Cautionary Tales. Tim is a gifted communicator, his voice is calm, he explains things clearly, and gives interesting examples to help us understand. This audiobook is my first "book" from Tim Harford and I couldn't be more pleased. In a world of 'pundits' interested more in scoring points against their opponents, The Data Detective lets us take time to breathe and examine what makes for good statistics (or good arguments in general), versus the daily deluge of click-bait headlines and shock news stories. Tim Harford's performance is not surprisingly first rate and I will look for more of his books in the future!

The kind of book the world needs right now.
What is truth? How do do look at all of the information that is coming out way and make sense of it?
When there is so much seemingly conflicting information that is being shared with us on a daily basis how do you decide what information is leading, or misleading? The Data Detective provides 10 simple guidelines that we can all use to ask the right questions and parse the reporting that we have been given down to what it actually means.
I also like that this book isn't particularly politically leaning. In a world that is so partisan right now, it allows everyone to be able to be curious and learn about ways that we can understand the world around us better. I can not recommend this book enough.

Redundant after his podcast
So much of the content is direct from his podcast that it’s frustrating to listen to. 1 sentence new, 2 previously heard. Also a bit pretentious. I do however recommend his podcast, ‘cautionary tales’.
