I've always wanted to use Stanislaw Lem's The Chain of Chance in a Stats and/or Methods class.
Amazon has it here: http://www.amazon.com/Chain-Chance-Stanislaw-Lem/dp/0156165007.

I've sort of been following this for a while; it's not completely new, but just seems to keep getting worse. I'm thinking of assigning novels for my psych classes. I'm not sure what novels I could use in methods and stats, but I'm working on it. Anyone got any ideas? m ------ "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -- Margaret Wheatley -----Original Message----- From: Christopher D.
