Statistical Thinking from Scratch A Primer for Scientists

This book is extraordinarily accessible. It is engaging, very good, and deserves wider recognition as a course text for advanced undergraduate level or beginning science research graduate students. What really makes it a compelling course (and self-learning) text are the many exercises scattered throughout. This is a very practical text whose main aim is to increase the statistical expertise of users. Throughout, the reader is treated to a lively, witty and engaging writing style. Highly recommended.
