Like its predecessors, this edition stresses intuitive understanding of principles rather than learning by mathematical proof.

Not cool that AFTER I purchased the book, I learned in reading through the table of contents that the appendices were not available in the Kindle edition. This was very unfortunate, since some of those appendices contained value tables for various test statistics. That made the reading and the practicing very disappointing as an overall experience.
