'This is a delightful book! It gives a well-written exposure to inference issues in statistics, very suitable for a first-year graduate course ... The authors present the material in a very good pedagogical manner. The examples are excellent, and the exercises are very instructive ... very much up to date and includes recent developments in the field.' MAA Reviews
