Editorial Reviews
Review
This is important reading for anyone involved with teaching biology at A level or above. It is crammed with thoughts which cannot do anything but provoke worthwhile projects and ideas and enable more sensitive handling of them. Buy the book, borrow, beg or steal it - now! - Teaching Statistics; This is not a coordinated compendium of simple answers ... but it is an account of biologists groping urgently for new approaches to an increasingly pressing problem. - Biologist; This is a useful book and one that I shall refer to regularly in my work. I recommend it for those working on biodiversity assessment. - British Ecological Society; This is important reading for anyone involved with teaching biology at A level or above. It is crammed with thoughts which cannot do anything but provoke worthwhile projects and ideas and enable more sensitive handling of them. But the book, borrow, beg or steal it - now! - Teaching statistics `This volume is the same as other similar joint efforts: cheap, accesible, completely up-to-date, and tightly edited.' Biodiversity Letters, 3 (1996)
