'It is much improved by virtue of the addition of a second software to the supported platforms, and the layout too is greatly improved. The first chapter is excellent for demystifying stats which remains our greatest bugbear.' - Dr Andy Foggo, Marine Biology and Ecology Research Centre, University of Plymouth
"a well-written, clearly-illustrated and user-friendly guidebook that explains the mysteries of biostatistics without either oversimplifying or scaring off first-year students with complex-looking equations. [...] There are lots of basic statistics textbooks out there, but this is one of the best." - Reviewed by Ana Claudia Mendes Malhado in The Biologist
