book: ReSampling - The New Statistics

This book describes a revolutionary —but now fully accepted— approach to probability and statistics. Monte Carlo resampling simulation takes the mumbo-jumbo out of statistics and enables even beginning students to understand completely everything that is done.
— from books intro

Its statistics made easy, because there's no need to tinker around with theory much, its all about harnessing computer power to do the simulations of the probabilities you'r after. Which i think is just great. You can find the book here.

On the process, the authors(Julian Simon and Peter Bruce) developed also a computer language for performing these simulations described and used in the book.
This has been implemented in a Java application, by John Grosberg, and made available as Statistics101, so you can easily play around and test the code examples from the book.
