"This book is aimed at doctors, medical students and other health professionals who view statistics as a necessary evil.

Rather, it sets out to explain the prinicples of statistcs that must be understood in order to read journals and practise clinical disciplines competently, and it does this without using any mathematics beyond the level needed for school leavers. (Preface pages vi-vii)."
