The best introduction to Stats at about 'A level' level or for those doing ancillary stats at university or the curious. The author assumes some knowledge of calculus and algebraic manipulation as he often, thankfully, derives his theorems. But if you come to it with this knowledge you will find it an exciting read. It is also very practical with great examples. Stats, to me, is a bit like cookery, and one must look up the recipes (there are very many). It is ok for that, too.
