>>Everyone thinks of statistics as an exact science - but it is far, far from it.

I just finished "The Drunkard's Walk". It is an entertaining and informative read on the development of probability theory and the mathematics involved. If the topic interests you, then you should read this one:


The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives

http://www.amazon.com/Drunkards-Walk-Randomness-Rules-Vintage/dp/0307275175/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258379807&sr=1-1

There are times when rules and precedents cannot be broken; others when they cannot be adhered to with safety. (Thomas Joplin)
