 Rating: - Best Bostatistics Book Ever AND It's Back In PrintI teach and do statistics for a living. Don't let the humor fool you. Despite being the most (only?) fun to read statistics book, it also has more thorough (and readable and usable) coverage coverage of the basics and advanced methods than any other book its size. It explains both underlying principles and practical applications. Readable, usable, thorough AND funny. Who would have thought it possible for a statistics book! I reccomend it to anybody in the biomedical or social sciences ...

I can believe that it is out of print! It was the only book I could find in many years that could be used to learn biostatitics on your own. It was easy, fun and it did not treat you as a dummy. Rating: - The most user-friendly introductory stats book ever!This book is fun and interesting, and not nearly as scary as the rest. It doesn't rely on lots of math, and it presents basic concepts in a way that regular people can understand. I recommend it to everyone I know who (1) doesn't know much about stats but (2) finds they need to do something statistical. It breaks my heart that it's out of print, because I was hoping they'd write a whole series of books!
