Thanks for the link to Bolker's book! It looks very interesting. The one I had in mind was "The foundations of statistics: A simulation-based approach" by Shravan Vasishth, available here: http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~vasishth/SFLS.html What I really like about Vasishth's work is the relatively informal and straightforward style, which I think will be appealing to my students. Bolker's text looks like something I would want to read, but I'm not sure my students are ready for it.
