International Journal of Epidemiology
"I heartily recommend it, especially to first years, but it's equally appropriate for an intercalated BSc or Postgraduate research. If statistics give you headaches - buy it. If statistics are all you think about - buy it."
GKT Gazette
"As one who generally has not got a clue when it comes to statistics, this is a book I would definitely recommend on the basis of accessibility."
Surgo: Glasgow University Medical School Gazette
"This book allows the student to teach himself and is a very good long-term source of reference." Cambridge Medicine - Jan 2001<!--end-->
"This book helped me a lot in refreshing ideas and was actually enjoyable to read. I am indebted to the book for being ale to complete the statistical analysis of data from my project." Cambridge Medicine
