Abstrakt: This article presents a list of books and discusses some books related to statistics. Various books included in the list are, "An Introduction to the Methods of Economic Statistics," by W.L. Crum and A.C. Pattern, "Laboratory Problems in Economic Statistics," "Statistical Analysis," by E.E. Day, "A First Course in Statistical Method," by G.I. Gavett, "Income in the Various States: Its Sources and Distribution, 1919, 1920 and 1921," by M. Leven, "Educational Statistics," by C.W. Odell, "Elementary Statistical Methods," by W.G. Sutcliffe and "Business and Investment Forecasting," by R. Vance. In the book "Interest Rates and Stock Speculation: A Study of the Influence of the Money on the Stock Market," by Richard N. Owens and Charles O. Hardy, the writers have cited from a number of high authorities, indicating that there exists a wide-spread belief that money rates are the dominant factor in causing changes in either stock prices or the volume of stock speculation. Then they proceed to combat this theory, first through statistical and historical tests and second through an argument that the theory is based on faulty logic.
