Trade ReviewThis book is unique; statistics educators will benefit. Recommended. * CHOICE *
Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "Teaching Statistics: A Bag of Tricks" is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to academic library collections in general, and would prove to be an enduringly valued supplementary text book for Statistics Education curriculums. * Midwest Book Review *
Review from previous edition "... very readable ... a book to dip into ... a useful companion to have to hand with fresh and relevant ideas." * Mathematics in School *
"This book contains more material than could possibly be used in a single course; we suggest you read through it all and then try out some of the ideas. Pick and choose what works for you." * Zentralblatt Math *
"Gelman and Nolan have constructed a tour de force of clever demonstrations that will permit all who use them to communicate more effectively many of the deepest ideas of statisitical thinking." * Howard Wainer, Distinguished Research Scientist, National Board of Medical Examiners, Philadelphia *
I strongly recommend Teaching Statistics to anyone teaching statistics. The second edition contains new and exciting ideas, especially for more advanced classes. This book is well-written, informative, and very useful. * Rebecca Conley, MAA Reviews *
