abstract: This is a very well-written and beautifully presented book. It is north American in origin and, while it will be invaluable for teachers of statistics to nurses and other healthcare professionals, it is probably not suitable for many preor post-registration students in health in the UK. The material is quite advanced and, while well illustrated, exemplified and with numerous examples for students, it takes a fairly mathematical approach in places. Nevertheless, the book has much to commend it, including a CD-ROM package containing tutorials, a statistical package, solutions based on the exercises in the text and case studies.
