Selected by Choice magazine as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2015

"This unique work represents the most thorough discussion to date of the history of permutation statistical methods from 1920 to the present. ... This clearly written book is a succinct compilation of those tests associated with the history of permutation statistical methods and their impact on the field of statistics. Its nonmathematical coverage makes it accessible to most readers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (D. J. Gougeon, Choice, Vol. 52 (9), May, 2015)

"This book is a very impressive work with a unique, comprehensive in-depth coverage of the birth and development of permutation-based statistical methods that should prove to be invaluable for anyone interested in this topic. ... It should also be useful for practitioners who are using permutation-based statistical methods and are interested in understanding the foundations and the motivations behind the usage of a specific method." (Andreas Rosenblad, International Statistical Review, Vol. 83 (1), 2015)
