Summary: intermediate level stats book on research studies
Comment: Manly has written a nice intermediate level book on research studies that is particularly useful for statisticians and researchers in the medical field. In addition to being well written and covering many of the common topics like observational versus experimentally designed studies, bias and confounding, survey design and regression, Manly covers topics not common to most texts including: (1) mark-recapture sampling, (2) size-biased sampling, (3)interrupted time series, (4) some advanced designs such as split plots, latin squares, nested factors and repeated measurements, (5) computer-intensive methods, (6) ethical considerations in experiments and (7) a chapter on synthesis which goes through the steps in carrying out a good research study.

Computer-intensive methods covered in Chapter 9 such as permutation and bootstrap methods are covered in more detail in Manly's book "Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology." There are also a number of other specialized texts on these topics.

Throughout, the methods are reinforced with many practical examples from the biological sciences.
