Hi

As my brain gradually begins to recognize that in a week or so, there is
the chance to put down my pen, stop doing calculations, marking,
teaching etc. etc. etc. my thoughts turn to my favourite pastime (well
one of them anyway!) reading.

I do enough 'technical' reading during the rest of the year that given a
chance I read SF, but last Christmas I really enjoyed Simon Singh's book
on Fermats Last theorem; not technical but nice coverage of an
interesting mathematical odessy.

Does anyone know of a book on statistics (or maths) that likewise is a
good non-technical read?  perhaps about some statistical 'characters' or
perhaps history of statistics.  If I order it now, it might arrive in
time for Christmas!

Many thanks 

Graham

p.s. all the best for the festive season
