Sir David John Spiegelhalter is the Chair of the Winston Center for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge. A well-published and often cited researcher, Spieglehalter has published a number of books on statistical methodology. Recently, though, his focus has changed. The Art of Statistics is all about the communication of statistics. Spiegelhalter argues that while data are critical in science and business, data does not speak for itself. Context around the numbers and the visualization of data are critical to telling the story behind the numbers.
