Just about the only book on statistics that I've ever been able to understand. Not designed to teach you how to do statistics but how to tell what other people's statistics actually mean. Contains really helpful explanations of the importance and meaning of most common (and many uncommon) statistical concepts that clinicians are likely to encounter in the medical literature. I'm not competent to judge the accuracy, but for sheer comprehensibility it easily surpasses anything else on the shelves in our health library.
