Media Reviews
This is a marvellous book. Not only is it essential reading for anyone involved in health research, it will also be useful for anyone interested in all official statistics and their methods of collection and interpretation. Furthermore, it is a very interesting read. The presentation is good, giving the reader clear directions to related topics. I know I shall find it invaluable and I shall make it compulsory reading for my health studies students.
Paulene Hudson, Bath Spa University College

A highly readable and extremely valuable source of information on a topic that can appear an impenetrable maze for the non-specialist. This book is an essential addition to the bookshelves of anyone who uses (or teaches) health related statistics. It comes highly recommended.
