Darrell Huff
From RationalWiki
Darrell Huff was an American author who wrote about a somewhat diverse range of subjects. Most notably, he wrote a book called How to Lie with Statistics, which remains one of the best-selling statistics books of all time. It examines ways in which people, media organizations, and other entities use really bad statistical logic to present falsehoods to people, taking advantage of how most people don't have a strong foundation in statistical logic. As such, it also happens to be a good resource for provoking critical thinking.
