Advances in the theory of repeated significance testing in the 1980s and 1990s has made sequential methods practical by identifying stopping rules for data collected sequentially but in groups. This material is now used to plan interim analyses and both safety and efficacy group sequential trials for clinical trials. This text provides for the first time thorough coverage of these advances with suitable references to the literature.

It should be on the bookshelf of any biostatistician who conducts clinical trials for pharmaceutical or medical device companies.

For a sports team that has had more books written about it than any in history, it is admittedly getting more and more difficult to uncover new insights to the Yankees (except for perhaps the pre-1920 teams). So it isn't unfair to say that much of the info covered in this books has been said before. But there are many photos not previously seen--or at least photos that have had very little previous circulation. The book is a very handsome publication and it indeed another library must have for the Yankee fanatic.

The cover of this book is great. The contents are somewhat less so. This is an illustrated history with a heavy accent on "illustrated." Lots of pictures, many of them quite good, but many others are poorly reproduced and below what one would expect in such a book. The "history" portion of the book is superfiscial - if you've read many other books about the Yankees this isn't going to tell you anything you don't already know. I was hoping for a thorough history of the team, but this is mostly re-hash and seems to have been told from accounts in other books. Adequate for what it is, but not comprehensive and certainly not among the best books ever written about the Yankees.

This is a wonderful book for all baseball fans. Whether you love the Yankees or hate them, you will be fascinated by the historical insights the writers deliver. Well written, with great photos, this book will provide hours and hours of pleasure. Perusing the book one comes across characters from the past such as Jack Chesbro and Prince Hal Chase, and from more recent times, such as Yogi Berra, Dave Winfield, and Mickey Mantle who make baseball history come alive. Historical anecdotes about how the Yankees got their name and their pinstripes, the history of Yankee stadium, and controversial plays all make this book a delightful source of information for any baseball fan. A great gift!

Good pictures but not too much about the players, no stats, and not many pictures of surrounding areas. Not a great deal about Mickey Mantle, DiMaggio, etc

This book is an absolute must for every Yankee fan. It leaves no doubt that Yankee Stadium is the single most prestigious piece of real estate in the history of American sports. To tell the history of the Yankees and Yankee Stadium is to essentially tell the history of baseball itself.

More importantly, book appropriately emphasizes the non-baseball events that took place there, thus adding to the vast and diverse amount of memories that burn forever in the minds of those who have walked through its gates.

The only blemish within the book are the panoramic pictures of the remodeled Stadium on pages 130-133. They are inverted. Otherwise, the rest of the pictures and drawings are spectacular.
