The contents below list the exhibits which appear in the Nothing Works book. Each exhibit is titled and numbered by chapter and by order in the chapter. Thus 2. 3. Is the second chapter’s third exhibit. The figures in the book give the reader graphical exhibits and the source tables for those exhibits are here on this web site. If you click on the relevant exhibit number, that will take you to the relevant source table. This separation of exhibits in the book from source tables on this web site avoids over burdening the printed book with tables and makes all our tables available on an open source basis.
A spreadsheet containing all exhibits is available here .
