  <abstract>Modern statistics is about analysis and interpretation of data, rather than about calculations. Kitchens is about data analysis and interpretation. The books distinguishing aspect is its strong emphasis on data analysis. It features the computer and, to an exceptional degree, graphical data analysis. It also carries data analytic ideas throughout the book, including the chapters on inference, categorical data, regression and ANOVA.</abstract>
