This is a broad introduction to statistics from the taxonomy of averages to various distributions to hypothesis testing, etc. The author has a spirited, whimsical approach that is engaging and entertaining. In-chapter quizzes and questions help the reader stay on track. A good adjunct for say a first-year college statistics text.
Pretty good entry book and reference for statistics. Very easy to understand and use as a cross reference.

"Those 677 pages are not crammed with text - there's a great deal of white space for making your own notes and for figuring out the answers to questions and exercises. This is definitely a well-constructed, self-instruction manual."
