"These two books are quite amazing. The depth and detail contained in these two tiny volumes is quite stunning.

The way the two books have been written is succinct, and yet, does allow the student to understand the way the material is presented."

If you hate stats then you'll love this!
This is a great guide to stats - concise, to the point, doesn't waste my time droning on with a boring subject! I am a medic and I hate trawling figures - although it is an essential part of the job, this book makes life soooo much easier!!!
