Critic Reviews

"The book is written in a concise and engaging style. The equations and formulas are well explained. This is one of the most readable statistics books in this area that we have seen. It focuses on issues of importance to researchers in the life sciences, and presents the methods motivated by practical considerations. The topics covered by the book are comprehensive enough for use as a text for M.S and PhD students in the agricultural sciences. It is not easy to find a book which earns a stamp of approval from both a statistician and a research agronomist, but this book has done just that. We have found that this book is well-written and will be useful as a textbook for students and a key starting reference for professionals in many areas of agricultural and biological research." -The American Statistician, 2003 Praise for the previous editions: "this book is outstandingly well doneThis is the Concise Oxford Dictionary of biological statistics-a four-square, middleweight companion which greatly deserves a wide circulation." Roderick Hunt, Journal of Applied Ecology, Vol. 21 "Well-organized...The crisp style of presentation distinguishes the book from other texts...I recommend it highly as a reference handbook for use by biology students and a convenient source for statistical practitioners...the book has the broadest coverage of relevant topics among applied texts at this level...the authors s are obviously well-acquainted with their business and communicate their ideas clearly and succinctly." - Journal of the American Statistical Society "This is a good introductory book, by authors who understand the limitations and statistical requirements of agriculturists and biologists." --R. M.Gatenby, Animal Breeding Abstracts
