Bernoulli’s Fallacy
The Way Out
Aubrey Clayton
Peter T. Coleman
Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science
How to Overcome Toxic Polarization
Aubrey Clayton traces the history of the flaw that underlies modern statistics, beginning with the seventeenth-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Ranging across math, philosophy, and culture, Bernoulli’s Fallacy explains why something has gone wrong with how we use data—and how to fix it.
The social psychologist Peter T. Coleman explores how conflict resolution and complexity science provide guidance for dealing with seemingly intractable political differences. The Way Out is a vital and timely guide to breaking free from the cycle of mutual contempt in order to better our lives, relationships, and country.

Harcourt has written a magnum opus. $30.00 / £25.00 paper 978-0-231-19573-7 2022 696 pages
