Yeah, but R is all caught up in a stats education -- and I think that's much harder to cover in a single book. Just my .02.

If people are looking for a broad overview of statistical stuff -- what's a t test, a sampling distribution, a regression, anova, variance, glm family, etc, I'd recommend this unfortunately very expensive book: http://www.amazon.com/Statistical-Sleuth-Course-Methods-Anal...

It's very applied with subject oriented chapters, eg what is regression? What about regression where my dep var is counts? A probability? With correlations in the design matrix? It's not perfect, but for self learning of stats, it's the best thing I know of.
