'Daniel Levitins field guide is a critical thinking primer for our shrill, data-drenched age. Its an essential tool for really understanding the texts, posts, tweets, magazines, newspapers, podcasts, op-eds, interviews and speeches that bombard us every day. From the way averages befuddle to the logical fallacies that sneak by us, every page is enlightening.'
