Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. pp: 340. The authors point to the increasing use, and dependence on, statistics in an increasingly longer list of disciplines. Many of the statistical techniques used in some fields are now an integral part of research methods in medicine, applie…d science and much of social sciences. In this volume the authors seek to trace the development of these concepts, and their role in shaping scientific thinking. The book includes a useful list of references, and both a name and subject index. A very good copy in dust jacket, both with moderate signs of wear. The text block is clean, and free of extraneous markings.
