At your computer! ;)

If you are looking for a book, good ones are Michael Crawley's Statistics: An 
Introduction Using R or Peter Dalgaard's Introductory Statistics with R. 

Crawley is a biologist, and his book might be a little more accessible to 
ecologists. He has also written a much more comprehensive book on R, The R 
Book, which is useful.

Cheers,

Mike
