The Architecture of Chance : An Introduction to the Logic and Arithmetic of Probability

Undergraduate textbooks for statistics courses in the behavioural, biological, and social sciences must devote so much space to the nut-and-bolts details of statistical methods that they have little left over for the larger conceptual framework of probability theory. This brief, lucid book fills the gap with its intelligible and in-depth explanation of probability, laid out step-by-step in a clear and congenial fashion. Even the student with little background in mathematics will find it readable and accessible.
