Does Measurement Measure Up - the book

I recently finished reading "Does Measurement Measure Up: How Numbers Reveal and Conceal the Truth" by John M. Henshaw.

I was expecting a more business-focused book, perhaps documenting the ways in which data can be used for business. In reality, the book was more anecdotes on the use of data and measurements throughout history. Very interesting, just not what I was expecting. A more complete (and less personalized) review can be found on Amazon.
