Review

"Each chapter contains specific, assessable learning objectives tied to clear instruction...The authors should be applauded for keeping the literature evaluation and biostatistics information simple, accessible, and relevant for students and practitioners. The principles discussed are similar to other published texts but more concise and readable...recommended as a valuable guide for students and practitioners seeking a concise overview of available resources and an easy-to-use, compact reference...It is also recommended as a possible aid to teachers of these topics as it provides a relevant, application-based approach that could be easily replicated in traditional classroom and experiential settings."
