First published by Basic Books in 1998, this book explores, with wit and originality, the unexpected relationships that tie the realm of mathematics, statistics and exact science to the contrasting world of personal experience - our memories and emotions, the stories that make up our lives.

Between stories and staistics; between subjective viewpoint and impersonal probability; between informal discourse and logic; between meaning and information; bridging the gap.
