David Salsburg, "The Lady Tasting Tea: How Statistics Revolutionized Science in the Twentieth Century"

In the 1840s, astronomers used Newton’s mathematical laws to predict the existence of another planet. And Neptune was discovered--left where it was supposed to be. For the first time, the universe seemed to make sense. It ran like a clock and scientists understood the mechanics perfectly. But errors began to mount, and by the end of the nineteenth century the clockwork universe had broken down. Gradually, a new paradigm arose in its place—the statistical model of reality.

In THE LADY TASTING TEA, David Salsburg tells the fascinating story of how statistics has revolutionized science in the twentieth century. Leading the reader through a maze of randomness and probability, the author clearly explains the nature of statistical models, where they came from, how they are applied to scientific problems, and whether they are true descriptions of reality. Salsburg also discusses the flaws inherent in a statistical model and the serious problems they’ve created for scientists as we enter the twenty-first century.

Written for the layperson, THE LADY TASTING TEA contains no mathematical formulas. It does contain short, easily digestible chapters, each one built around one of the men or women who participated in the statistical revolution. While readers will not learn enough to engage in statistical analysis (that requires several years of graduate study) they will come away with some understanding of the basic philosophy behind the statistical view of science. And to start, we meet a lady tasting tea . . .
