Book: 12345

Many of us are familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style, the stalwart guide for writing professional prose. Now comes the Chicago Guide to Writing About Numbers: 12345: the Effective Presentation of Quantiative Information. by Jane E. Miller. If you are writing articles with lots of data, or creating slides to accompany professional talks that have a lot of quantitative information to present, this book will help you convey the information. You can also use it to help make useful decisions about which statistical tests you want to use. It may be more on target for the typical scholarly article than the Tufte classics in this field.
