Does a young person commit suicide every thirteen minutes in the United States? Are four million women really battered to death by their husbands or boyfriends each year? Is methamphetamine our number one drug problem today? Alarming statistics bombard our daily lives, appearing in the news, on the Web, seemingly everywhere. But all too often, even the most respected publications present numbers that are miscalculated, misinterpreted, hyped, or simply misleading. This new edition contains revised benchmark statistics, updated resources, and a new section on the rhetorical uses of statistics, complete with new problems to be spotted and new examples illustrating those problems. Joel Best's best seller exposes questionable uses of statistics and guides the reader toward becoming a more critical, savvy consumer of news, information, and data. Entertaining, informative, and concise, Stat-Spotting takes a commonsense approach to understanding data and doesn't require advanced math or statistics.

In this sequel to the acclaimed Damned Lies and Statistics, which the Boston Globe said "deserves a place next to the dictionary on every school, media, and home-office desk," Joel Best continues his straightforward, lively, and humorous account of how statistics are produced, used, and misused by everyone from researchers to journalists. Underlining the importance of critical thinking in all matters numerical, Best illustrates his points with examples of good and bad statistics about such contemporary concerns as school shootings, fatal hospital errors, bullying, teen suicides, deaths at the World Trade Center, college ratings, the risks of divorce, racial profiling, and fatalities caused by falling coconuts. More Damned Lies and Statistics encourages all of us to think in a more sophisticated and skeptical manner about how statistics are used to promote causes, create fear, and advance particular points of view. Best identifies different sorts of numbers that shape how we think about public issues: missing numbers are relevant but overlooked; confusing numbers bewilder when they should inform; scary numbers play to our fears about the present and the future; authoritative numbers demand respect they don't deserve; magical numbers promise unrealistic, simple solutions to complex problems; and contentious numbers become the focus of data duels and stat wars. The author's use of pertinent, socially important examples documents the life-altering consequences of understanding or misunderstanding statistical information. He demystifies statistical measures by explaining in straightforward prose how decisions are made about what to count and what not to count, what assumptions get made, and which figures are brought to our attention. Best identifies different sorts of numbers that shape how we think about public issues. Entertaining, enlightening, and very timely, this book offers a basis for critical thinking about the numbers we encounter and a reminder that when it comes to the news, people count-in more ways than one.

Wood surface attributes can be established by examining its several different physical or chemical properties. Differences in the wood surfaces occur between the manufacturing and post-treatment processes as well. Understanding how their unique anisotropic molecular organization, chemical linkages, branching, and other molecular features govern micro- and macroscale accessibility is essential for coating and complex modification processes. It is therefore important for scientific as well as practical reasons to qualify and quantify the effects of wood surface treatments and modifications. Challenges still exist to fully understanding the effect of the numerous applied chemicals and the wide range of treatment processes on wood surfaces.

Ce livre rend hommage à Jean-Claude Piris qui occupa pendant plus de 22 ans, d'avril 1988 à novembre 2010, date de sa retraite, les plus hautes fonctions au Service juridique du Conseil. II fut, dès le ter janvier 1990, le Jurisconsulte du Conseil européen et du Conseil de l'Union européenne et le Directeur général du Service juridique du Conseil. Jean-Claude Piris a été l'un des artisans de la construction européenne. II a vécu au coeur des institutions de l'Union européenne dont il connaît tous les rouages. II a apporté ses conseils juridiques en assistant à plus de 1000 réunions du Comité des représentants permanents, sous 46 présidences semestrielles et a participé à une centaine de réunions du Conseil européen. Il a également été le Jurisconsulte des cinq dernières Conférences intergouvernementales (CIG) convoquées pour modifier les traités qui fondent l'Union européenne. Chaque fois que l'Union européenne se trouva confrontée à une difficulté sérieuse, Jean-Claude Piris contribua à trouver une solution juridiquement correcte et politiquement acceptable (par exemple la solution pour le Danemark en 1992, le compromis de loannina en 1994, la solution pour l'Irlande en 2002, le traité de Lisbonne en 2007, la solution pour l'Irlande en 2009, la décision sur le Service européen pour l'action extérieure et le mécanisme pour la crise de la dette en 2010). II présida les groupes d'experts juridiques mis en place lors des CIG de 2003-2004 et de 2007. Cet ouvrage se compose de 26 contributions d'amis, collègues et confrères des mondes juridiques, diplomatiques, académiques et journalistiques au confluent desquels Jean-Claude Piris s'est trouvé.
