Description:
An essential work on the origins of statistics.
The Rise of Statistical Thinking, 1820–1900 explores the history of statistics from the field's origins in the nineteenth century through to the factors that produced the burst of modern statistical innovation in the early twentieth century. Theodore Porter shows that statistics was not developed by mathematicians and then applied to the sciences and social sciences. Rather, the field came into being through the efforts of social scientists, who saw a need for statistical tools in their examination of society. Pioneering statistical physicists and biologists James Clerk Maxwell, Ludwig Boltzmann, and Francis Galton introduced statistical models to the sciences by pointing to analogies between their disciplines and the social sciences. A new preface by the author looks at how the book has remained relevant since its initial publication, and considers the current place of statistics in scientific research.
'An outstanding feature of Mr. Porter's book is its depiction of the interrelationships between statistics and certain intellectual and social movements...[The book] is unfailingly interesting.' — Morris Kline, New York Times Book Review
'The Rise of Statistical Thinking avoids technicalities and concentrates on the flow of ideas between the natural and social sciences. It emphasizes the philosophical issues raised by novel statistical methods, and how they affected the subject's development.' — Ian Stewart, Nature

Easy to use
Color: Black
I don’t know how I lived without this device. Arthritic hands have made the job very hard. This has been a lifesaver. Don’t wait and get it now. It doesn’t hurt that it comes with some nice accessories.

Follow all the instructions
Color: Black
I really really like this product. Just be sure to read the directions about the charging required before first use. The instructions were simple and easy to understand when using a large bottle of wine. Be sure to hold the bottle securely or in may want to turn as the cart plunger goes down

Very good opener with some cheap attachments
Color: Black
This is a very good wine opener. It's light weight, well made, and opens bottles with no issues. Best part about this one that sets it apart from the competition is the charging base. I've tried a couple different ones so far and they all require you to plug a cord directly into the unit to charge it. With this one, it charges as soon as you set it into the base so you don't forget. The con with this one however is that the foil cutter is stored in the base and doesn't snap onto the unit itself like my old one. It's a very small inconvenience but just worth noting. The wine stopper and aerator are kind of like plastic toys but i really don't use them anyways. For the price though, having a charging base is worth the switch. Overall, really like this opener.

The functionality, speed & value are superior!
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I enjoy my evening glass or 2 of wine, BUT I always had to ask hubby to open the bottle or even the box for me. Granted he has never complained, but well, lets just say, I always felt guilty for making him get out of his recliner.
This wine opener has exceeding my expectations! It' is so easy to use. Use the cutting tool to break the foil seal, (after many uses I need new blades) place the opener with the corkscrew on top of the bottle. Get a firm grip of the neck of the bottle, & push the down button. Then let it quietly, quickly & with so much ease remove the cork!
It is so easy to use! Just plug it into a charger overnight & then you are ready to open many bottles of your favorite wine!
The functionality, speed & value are superior! Get one for your vacation bag, your kitchen, bar, etc, order one for your girlfriends/boyfriends, mother, aunt etc. :) They will thank you for it!
