This volume recognizes the inevitable tension between the mathematics of hypothesis testing and the ethical requirements in medical research and concentrates on the resolution of these issues in p value interpretation. A conversational format and conscious de-emphasizing of computational devices allows the focus to be on the features of experimental design, making statistical reasoning extremely accessible to the uninitiated.
