Have a go at Prof. Stigler's latest "Statistics on the Table" (1999,
Harvard University Press). A very scholarly and often entertaining
collection of historical essays about lead characters and ideas in the
great story of statistics.
It's amazing how deep some apparently modern ideas are actually rooted
in time.
