"The general tenor of this book is good and it should serve well as a text for an introductory statistics course taught from a Bayesian perspective." (Biometrics, September 2008)

"Like the first edition, this edition is useful and effective in teaching Bayesian inference at both elementary and intermediate levels. It is a well-written book on elementary Bayesian inference, and the material is easily accessible. It is both concise and timely, and provides a good collection of overviews and reviews of important tools used in Bayesian statistical methods. (Technometrics, November 2008)
