I first read this as a child, published 1954. It has been re-copyrighted, reprinted and is available as a Kindle book. Short, readable, cheap.

It goes to the heart of the matter here. A 300% increase sounds like a lot if you don't consider that it could indicate 3 occurrences in a population of 500,000,000 making it rare sand trivial.
