The writing style of the author is excellent...He spends a significant amount of time decomposing and deconstructing complex ideas related to the measures of central tendency for both novice and expert students of statistics in a user-friendly and approachable tone. -- Keith Feigenson The writing style is nice and easy to follow. -- Timothy Victor
