Kirkwood BR, Sterne JAC. Essential Medical Statistics, 2nd Edition. Blackwell Science, Oxford, 2003.
Essential Medical Statistics is a standard text in a number of institutions in the UK, the USA and around the world, and was highly commended in the 2004 BMA Book Awards. The judges commented "This is a technical subject but presented in a delightful way. There are many books on statistics for doctors but there are few that are excellent and this is certainly one of them. Statistics is not an easy subject to teach or write about. The authors have succeeded in producing a book that is as good as it can get. For the keen student who does not want a book on mathematics, this is an excellent first book on medical statistics.
