Useful for the non-expert
If you are like me, and you have a smattering of statistics, and occasionally find yourself in need of a statistical test in your work this book could be useful for you. It's not a book for theoreticians, but explains statistical methods and tests, and presents worked out examples that make it easier to decide which test is appropriate for your data. It covers a broad range of methods and I think you will find something to suit your needs in most cases. In this sense I think the book is useful for someone who isn't a scholar of statistics, but has call to use statistics from time to time.

all you need to know
This stats book is great for biologists. It covers pretty much everything and includes appendices of stats tables. It's a bit heavy going but lets face it which stats book isn't?
