| By: Geoffrey R. Norman PhD, David L. Streiner PhD ISBN: 1550090852 Publisher: B C Decker Inc Release Date: 1998 Bioscience book rank: 2200197 | I 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 who wants to learn statistics AND as a handy reference for anybody who uses statistics AND for anybody who needs to teach students AND for anybody who needs to explain statistics to the public. Deserves to be bestseller. And it's back in print by BC Decker, available in U.S. from Blackwell; ISBN: 1550090852. I teach and do statistics for a living. Don't let the humor fool you.

| By: Mark X. Norleans ISBN: 0824704673 Publisher: CRC Release Date: 15 January, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 2316270 | In 2001 under the pen name statman13 I wrote the first amazon customer review of this book. It was a very detailed review and one of the very few reviews that I have written that really panned a book. I am happy to see that in the intevening time two other reviewers expressed similar negative opinions. Unfortunately if they bought the book they must not have read mine! In 2001 I bought the book at a "discount price" because the author was presenting the work as a tutorial at the Deming conference, the title interested me and the abstract was intriguing. The book was just coming out. So I had no reviews to base a purchasing decision on and I knew that the series editor had a great reputation as an author and editor on these topics. I was on the conference organizing committee and although I had not been the member who invited Mark, I was duped into buying the book and I agreed to moderate his session. The session was an embarrassment. It was not a tutorial but a diatribe against classical statistics. The author carrying degrees in both medicine and statistics simply demonstrated his ignorance of statistics and presented his own nonsense methods. I can't really blame my colleague who pick him for the tutorial as he was duped just the way I was. It is unusual for the Deming conference to have such a terrible presentation. All the rest of the tutorials and short courses were excellent as they have been before and since and Walter Young and his committee volunteers deserve congratulations over the consistent high quality and state-of-the-art presentations. I served on the committee in the past and have given tutorials there also.
<br />
<br />Because it is so easy for prospective buyers to be misled into purchasing this book for the reasons I have given and because editorial reviews are just sugar-coated publisher sales pitches that are also very misleading I continue to warn amazon readers not to waste their money on this book! From whichever perspective you look at it - this books offers absolutely nothing. I wish I could get my $$ back! I don't know why Dr. Chow put this garbage in his series. | |
