This relatively nontechnical book is the first account of the
history of statistics from the Fisher revolution to the computer
revolution. It sketches the careers, and highlights some of the
work, of 65 people, most of them statisticians. What gives the book
its special character is its emphasis on the author's interaction
with these people and the inclusion of many personal anecdotes.
Combined, these portraits provide an amazing fly-on-the-wall view
of statistics during the period in question. The stress is on ideas
and technical material is held to a minimum. Thus the book is
accessible to anyone with at least an elementary background in
statistics.
