The interesting and unusual thing about this course book is that from the very beginning it embarks on a Bayesian approach, and then does not really deviate from it. It covers most of important topics in a standard introductory course to statistics, but does it in a very unconventional order, and always gives a Bayesian tint even to topics that are essentially frequentist in nature.
