With its broad appeal as a text for those in biomedical science, education, social science, agriculture, and engineering, this second edition offers a relatively gentle and comprehensive introduction for students and practitioners already familiar with more traditional frequentist statistical methods. Focusing on practical tools for data analysis, the book shows how properly structured Bayes and EB procedures typically have good frequentist and Bayesian performance, both in theory and in practice.

Review
The writing is excellent and the worked examples are also excellent for understanding the methods. In summary, I recommend Bayes and Empirical Bayes Methods for Data Analysis for advanced graduate students and all research workers.
-Olaf Berke in Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, January 2001
...particularly commends the book to practising biometricians who want to explore the potential for using Bayesian methods in their own work.
-Biometrics, Vol. 57, No. 3, September 2001
...the book is beautifully written and many of the questions it raises - and most of the answers provided - are of concern for the applied statistician whether Bayesian, frequentist or likelihoodist.
-Guadalupe Gomez, Statistics in Medicine Vol 21, #23 Dec 15 2002.
