'Rosemary Bailey has made wonderful contributions to applications and theory of the design of statistical experiments. She has woven these and her love of the history and philosophy of the subject into an accessible textbook. A terrific achievement.' Persi Diaconis, Stanford University 'This is 'the beauty and joy of experimental design': a mathematically beautiful and eloquently written treatise by the master!' Geert Molenberghs, Universiteit Hasselt, Belgium 'A definitive treatment. Rothamsted experimental design lucidly expounded from a modern viewpoint.' Terry Speed, The Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Australia 'This excellent book clearly presents elegant, general and simplifying theory, combining valuable practical advice with a large number of real examples. It treats the design of comparative experiments with a unique approach not seen in other books ...A must-read for anyone designing experiments or wanting to learn about the design of experiments.' Ching-Shui Cheng, University of California, Berkeley
