Learning Statistics with R covers the contents of an introductory statistics class, as typically taught to undergraduate psychology students, focusing on the use of the R statistical software. The book discusses how to get started in R as well as giving an introduction to data manipulation and writing scripts. From a statistical perspective, the book discusses descriptive statistics and graphing first, followed by chapters on probability theory, sampling and estimation, and null hypothesis testing. After introducing the theory, the book covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, ANOVAs and regression. Bayesian statistics are covered at the end of the book.

Nueva visita a un mundo feliz es una recopilación de ensayos (publicados en la revista Newsday) sobre la novela Un mundo feliz (1932), de Aldous Huxley, en donde el mismo autor analiza veintiséis años después (1958) los contenidos tratados en su novela, verificando así sus aciertos y equívocos a la hora de contemplar la evolución de la civilización occidental durante dicho lapso. En dicha obra, hace muchas referencias a otra distopía, la novela 1984, de George Orwell.
