    This book presents the human side of statistical consulting and illustrates the problems and opportunities that can arise for the modern consultant.

These contributions demonstrate that statistical consultancy provides a broad spectrum of intellectually stimulating problems, as well as being a vital tool in many aspects of modern life. The book will be valuable to university and college students of statistics and to all those who use statistical techniques in a consultancy environment of any kind.
