This book deals with the origins of statistical thinking: ``How do our minds operate with quantities? What are the most natural ways to deal with information? Bayesian and frequentist approaches are subjects to a historical and cognitive analysis.'' The author writes: ``Let me introduce you to some facts, debates, ideas, and also doubts about how we can understand our world. This is true mining of this book!'' The problems discussed here will be of interest to philosophers and historians of science.
