"The heart of this text was written over a summer in Paris, in a small apartment near the Place Saint Ferdinand, having been outlined in nearby caf�es and on walks in the Bois de Boulogne. It is based on our Collective experience of many decades of teaching, researching, and writing. We believe that the result is a text as Different from the conventional lot of statistics texts as Paris is from Patagonia, yet still comfortable and stimulating to the long-suffering community of statistics instructors. Our approach was developed over decades of successful teaching-successful not only in that students have consistently rated the course (a statistics course, remember) as a highlight of their major, but also that students come back to us long after graduating saying, "I was light years ahead of my fellow graduate students because of your course," or "Even though I don't do research, your course has really helped me read the journals in my field." We have continued to improve the book with each of the prior six editions, and the response continues to be overwhelming. We do not mean to brag, but to reassure you. Over the years we have received hundreds of thank-you emails from instructors like yourself as well as students (surprising, yes?) from all over the world. Here is a recent email (reprinted with the student's permission): "I love the stepbystep method used in each chapter and the clear explanations of the logic behind each method. I think it's finally gone 'click!' for me and I'm very excited!" (Ira Philip, 2021). We have received (and always welcome) feedback too, about things to improve, and we have listened closely. With each revision we have tried to maintain those things about the text that have been especially appreciated, while reworking it to take into account the feedback, plus our own experiences teaching with the text and advances and changes in the field. And as you can imagine, we continue to take advantage of opportunities made available by new technology. However, before turning to what's new in this latest revision, we want to reiterate what we said with the first edition about how this text, from the beginning, has been so different from other statistics texts"--
