«Chiffres en folie» is the critical alphabet of Association Pénombre, published by La Découverte in 1999 in paperback, in French.
An alphabetical and humorous tour of the misuse of figures in the media and public debate: unintentional errors, deliberate manipulations and fantastic figures. Association Pénombre shows how numbers are presented as proof of objectivity and addresses topics such as unemployment, immigration or health, with cross-references between articles.
With a preface by Philippe Meyer; built from the first 18 issues of «La lettre blanche» (1993-1998), includes bibliographic references and indexes. Belongs to the Cahiers libres collection.
For readers interested in media, statistics and critical analysis of public discourse.
