The book’s exercises use ESCI's simulations, which are highly visual and interactive, to engage users and encourage exploration. The book is invaluable to readers interested in meeting the new APA Publication Manual guidelines by adopting the new statistics - which are more informative than null hypothesis significance testing, and becoming widely used in many disciplines.Accompanying the book is the Exploratory Software for Confidence Intervals (ESCI) package, free software that runs under Excel and is accessible at thenewstatistics. Researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the new statistics, and future published research, will also appreciate this book. Working with the simulations strengthens understanding of key statistical ideas. A basic familiarity with introductory statistics is assumed.. A particular strength of the book is its explanation
