Miller's book was recommended to us freshers of Research as a must-have. We were informed that Research Scientists over the years have referred back to it time and again throughout their careers. Indeed, it has proved such a gem of a book that it has gone back into print a number of times since it's original publication in 1974. Our lecturer was not far wrong - what other publications merely baffle us research undergraduates with, Miller's book defines research concepts in the proverbial 'layman's terms'. Time and again, after exhausting every available publication in finding the explanation that would relieve my confusion, I referred to my bible and there it was - my answer, in terms that even the dummies amongst us (i.e. me) would comprehend.
Miller's book is for all students - and graduates - whose course/work requires research of any nature. It discusses experimental design and statistics in clear, succinct terms and does not overwhelm the reader with unnecessary 'bumph'.
It is the bible for the researcher, and a book that I for one will refer to in years to come.
