Statistics: Concepts and Applications is a carefully researched general statistics text that covers the latest topics and applications of statistics. Aczel's text has an integrated real world emphasis and maintains a strong cross disciplinary emphasis, punctuated by superior applications. "The use of magazine and newspaper articles in his examples to illustrate statistical methodology is novel and interesting" - Joe Ibrahim - Northern Illinois University.
Amir D. Aczel, Ph.D., is the author of 17 books on mathematics and science, some of which have been international bestsellers. Aczel has taught mathematics, statistics, and history of science at various universities, and was a visiting scholar at Harvard in 2005-2007. In 2004, Aczel was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is also the recipient of several teaching awards, and a grant from the American Institute of Physics to support the writing of two of his books.

Aczel inside the CMS detector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the international laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, while there to research his new book, "Present at the Creation: The Story of CERN and the Large Hadron Collider"--which is about the search for the mysterious Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle," dark matter, dark energy, the mystery of antimatter, Supersymmetry, and hidden dimensions of spacetime.
