  Statistics lectures have been a source
  of much bewilderment and frustration
  for generations of students. This book
  attempts to remedy the situation by
  expounding a logical and unified
  approach to the whole subject of data
  analysis. This text is intended as a
  tutorial guide for senior
  undergraduates and research students
  in science and engineering ...


I don't know the other recommendations though.

What is the best introductory Bayesian statistics textbook?
See, in one of our employee evaluation systems, we would like to implement a feature by which any employee can show appreciation to another employee that he has got help from or whom he thinks to be a good performer, mentor etc., and it has to be done every month. So, to give a name to this action, one of the suggestions was the phrase 'give kudos', but we expect to have a better one with a similar meaning. Something interesting!!

Update: It is not mandatory that we should use the word 'give' or 'kudos'! when we rephrase it.

Can anyone help me on this?
