Summary
Summary
Brunette (oral biology, U. of British Columbia) developed this research reference guide from undergraduate and graduate dental research courses. He de-emphasizes statistics and instead concentrates on critical evaluation and its components: scientific method, logic, measurement, result presentation, research strategies, observation, experimentation, statistical inference, judgment, and a special chapter on cranks and quacks.

Doody's Book Review
This new book discusses the development of critical thinking when reading and analyzing the dental literature. In the beginning of each chapter, a concept is introduced and the objectives are listed. Examples pertaining to dentistry and other areas are used throughout the text. The objective of this book is to enable the reader to analyze the dental research, to recognize the important questions, and to evaluate the experimental design applied using creativity, common sense, and good judgment. This book is recommended for dental practitioners, investigators, and students for self-paced learning and as a quick reference. The book includes numerous tables, graphs, and appendixes together with references that are practical and up-to-date. This is a useful book for students and practitioners in the field of oral health. It is a straightforward and practical book that emphasizes the value of being systematic while enabling the reader to develop the ability to interpret the statistical pr ocedures used. If excessive technical detail is needed, the reader should be referred to another statistical textbook. Lia Kosmidou, DDS, MS(University of Chicago Medical Center). Copyright 2001, Doody Publishing
