1996, published by Duxbury Press, Wadworth Publ. Co., 518pp.

Reviewed by Ashok Bansal, Dept. of Statistics, U. of Delhi in the Newsletter of the Indian Chapter of ISBA, Vol. III, No. 1, Feb. 1998.

Some excerpts from the review follow:
"The book has 14 Chapters plus Appendix using the Bayesian Minitab Macros... It is an introduction to statistics for general students and takes the Bayesian view. Professor Berry develops statistical ideas using uncommonly interesting examples from science and sports with many involving medicine...The mathematical level of this book is minimal. It is probably the only introductory text book based on Bayesian ideas. As Bayesian statistics is finding its way into the Indian Universities' postgraduate curriculum, I feel that Professor Berry's book will be found very useful by the younger generation of Indian statisticians."
