[ECOLOG-L] basic statistics textbooks

[Gregory Zimmerman]

I use Gotelli and Ellison because it has the broadest coverage (classical,
maximum likelihood, re-randomization and bayesian) but it is a bit of a
stretch for my intro biostats students. . The class has a lab so I'm not
that concerned with examples -- we cover that in lab (we use R in lab after
getting the students started with excel ). Thanks for the lead on the
Glover and Mitchell text.
