Excellent, practical book

I taught a course to MBA students using a previous edition of this book. The students loved it, since it gave them practical skills they could use.Another much different book which I have used is "Statistics" by Freedman et. al. This is an elementary book and does not emphasize practical skills so much, but gives very good understanding of statistical principles and pitfalls. Even though elementary, some of our Ph.D. students could have benefited from a few of the insights.
