Review

`It is not often that a book serves to synthesize an emerging field of study while at the same time meeting clear practical needs. I am confident that The Challenge of Developing Statistical Literacy, Reasoning, and Thinking will be seen as a classic.'
David Moore, Professor of Statistics Emeritus, Purdue University, USA
