"This book definitely makes me think about the ways we normally talk about statistics with our students and our prospective teachers, and that perhaps there are alternative ways for us to introduce data, statistics, and inference than many of us do now. The authors are right-on with their path: Cases--> Collections--> Samples--> Distributions. I applaud that, and also their excellent "mini" and "integrating" activities that they have included throughout the book to get us all thinking and reasoning about quantities in statistics."J. Michael Shaughnessy, Professor Emeritus in Mathematics and Statistics at Portland State University.
