Statistics-driven thinking is ubiquitous in modern society.
No other work, in any language, covers such a broad spectrum--probability, mathematical statistics, psychology, economics, sociology, surveys, public health, medical statistics--in accurately synthesizing the History of statistics, with an emphasis on the conceptual development of social statistics, culminating in twentieth-century applied econometrics..
