Review

“This is a comprehensive collection of papers focused on the use of significance tests for inferential purposes.... The strength of the book lies in the diverse perspectives of the papers.”

—Lews F. Carter, Social Forces

“This book by Morrison and Henkel is a book for all those who use tests of statistical significance. More, it is a book for all those who read scientific reports which use tests of statistical significance. This means it is a book for nearly all of us.”

—Raoul Naroll, American Anthropologist

“[The] intention of the book is to make practicing behavioral scientists more critically aware of some of the limitations of their most ubiquitous statistical technique.”

—P. S. Taylor, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series D (The Statistician)
