Recenzje

'For a subject that includes complex statistics and scientific material, Morath makes the information easy to read and follow … The writing itself is not pretentious or overly scientific; however, Morath does not shy away from explaining essential, but complex, terminology. Clear, direct definitions are always provided, so readers with little knowledge about the various subjects covered in the book will not be lost or in over their heads.' Diane Martinez, Technical Communication
