This review is from: Desktop Data Analysis With Systat (Paperback)

I learned the majority of my stats from carefully working through the examples and data sets in this book.

Each chapter provides a case-study to help explain why you'd run the stats and how they apply. Also gives great heuristics (which most stat books don't) plus plenty of sources for further reading.
