Minimal library (summary)



Thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions for statistics books 
for the  Nat. Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. Names are 
given at the bottom. For purposes of bandwidth I have deleted the 
comments. There were a total of 80 different books commended, not 
counting multiple set volumes or different editions of the same book. 
If the center bought them all, they would certainly have a well 
stocked library. If they just go with the 17 the received multiple 
votes, they would have a very good basi set.
