"This book is aimed at anyone who needs a basic introduction to statistics in the health sciences. It is based on many years' experience teaching first year medical and health science students. Many of the examples are taken from Primary Care in the UK, which is where I worked for many years. Throughout I have tried to emphasise that Medical Statistics is not just a bag of tricks, and there are many synergies between the methods. It is now over forty years since Swinscow's original edition, and each edition reflected changes in the understanding of medical statistics. Perhaps the greatest change has occurred since the previous edition,which appeared twelve years ago.Despite the efforts of medical statisticians, there was a widespread misuse of p-values,the cornerstone of conventional statistical inference. This led some journals to ban p-values altogether. It is my view that used properly the p-value is a useful concept but this book, as in previous editions of this book, concentrates on estimation rather than just hypothesis testing. The book tries to steer the reader away from an excessive devotion to p-values, to instil a proper appreciation of their usefulness and to emphasise estimation over significance testing"-- Provided by publisher

"Everything we know as school leaders changed with COVID-19, ushering in an era of prolonged ambiguity. But as disconcerting as ambiguity is, Michael Fullan writes that it also creates an opportunity for positive change to happen. Ten years ago, Michael Fullan wrote a paper called "Choosing the Wrong Drivers," which addressed educators' mistaken focus on accountability, individual performance, technology, and fragmented work. The problem was that, while the paper proposed four alternative right drivers, it didn't go far enough in representing a theory school leaders could implement cohesively for system change. Now, Michael believes, the time is right and it is more imperative than ever that the right drivers be put to work in our schools. The right drivers are: Wellbeing and learning (essence) Social intelligence (limitlessness) Equality investments (dignity) Systemness (wholeness) In this new book, Michael makes the case for our focus to shift from individual, I-focused, and high-stakes testing to a more holistic, we-focused, feedback orientation that prioritizes the dignity of all of the people in our schools"--
