Well written and exciting. However, since I wrote it, I may be somewhat prejudiced.

Marissa Moss's book, written as if by a 12-year-old slave in the court of Augustus, is full of fascinating and accurate facts. The illustrations in particular are charming and very useful in painting a picture of daily life in 1st century Rome.

This book would be a great resource for any class studying the ancient Romans. It would also be a useful complement to my own series of children's historical novels (The Roman Mysteries) set in a slightly later period. A big thumbs-up!

This book is truly unique! It focuses on the conceptual understanding of statistical thinking - not on numbers and calculations. I am recommending this book to all the employees in our quality department because it provides the framework for quality improvement - something all quality professionals need before attempting to use any statistical methods to measure improvement. I recommend this book to any quality professional who needs a down-to-earth explanation of how statistical thinking can improve an organization's quality program.
