Biomeasurement by Dawn Hawkins
Biomeasurement offers a refreshing, student-focused introduction to the use of statistics in the study of the biosciences. Emphasising why statistical techniques are essential tools for bioscientists, the book removes the stigma attached to statistics by giving students the confidence to use key techniques for themselves.
This is a very user-friendly introduction to statistical methods for first-year undergraduate biology studentsF. James Rohlf, in Quarterly Review of Biology, September 2010 Even from reading the first chapter only it is clear that the writer has put some thought into making the book entertaining to read. Oddly, it has worked! Her style of writing is casual, readable and humorous. This simple and 'easy to read' style makes the book inviting to use. The writer has achieved something I thought was impossible and made statistics interesting/appealing to study! Bethan Clifford, Student, University of Nottingham The presentation allows readers easily to access material which is relevant to their needs. Chapter 13, on presentation of data, provides an ideal conclusion to book. The Society of General Microbiology Biomeasurement is a well researched and planned book. The audience of the book is clearly identified and targeted by the material. The Society for General Microbiology
