The latest edition of this best-selling textbook is both comprehensive and easy to read. It is suitable as an introduction for beginning students and as a comprehensive reference book for biological researchers and for advanced students. This book is appropriate for a one- or two-semester, junior or graduate-level course in biostatistics, biometry, quantitative biology, or statistics, and assumes a prerequisite of algebra.
I had the pleasure of taking Dr. Zar's Biostats course while a graduate student at Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL USA) during the late 1970s. I have purchased each new edition and used them extensively during my career, first in cancer research and then in the In Vitro Diagnostics industry. Dr. Zar's approach to this subject was, "We assume professional statisticians' have tested each equation. My goal is to teach you how, where and when to correctly apply these tests." He does.
My only fault with this edition is the omission of the Data Tables at the end of the text. For the new student, this is a crucial failing of this printing. Since I have three previous, hardbound versions, I have the Data Tables except for any new tests presented in this version.
