Produced by Bremer (mathematics, San Jose State U.) and Doerge (statistics and agronomy, Purdue U.), this is a "bench-side" review manual that is intended as a resource providing an overview of important terminology and concepts in quantitative thinking and the statistical analysis of biological data. Chapters address common pitfalls, descriptive statistics, design of experiments, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression and the ANOVA model, and special topics such as clustering and microarray data analysis. The volume is bound with wire comb so that it can lay flat on the biologist's bench or table. Annotation 2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
