A very good book on applied statistics along with using R. Previously read Principles of Statistics which provides theoretical foundation of statistics. Best addons are the custom R library lsr, datasets and the free online bookdown version.

Great instructions, good sense of humour to smooth out the harder parts and amazingly readable! The accompanying LSR library for R is very handy as well (also after finishing the book).
Must read for data scientist and statisticians using R! (I read the newest version, 0.6 i believe, but that's not on Goodreads unfortunately).
