From the reviews:“This book examines the effect of prayer on quality of life, particularly as a possible complementary or alternative therapy to fight illness. … the book is easy to read and a good introduction to this subject … . The book does a good job of exploring this important topic. Many clients are interested in spirituality, so it makes sense to study prayer as a complementary adjunctive treatment to traditional medicine.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2013)&nbsp;“The purpose of this volume is to scientifically study the existence and effects of a spiritual reality … on the physical health of patients with cancer. The volume also explores various ethical issues associated with scientific research in the spiritual arena … . this volume is highly recommended as required reading for a wide range of quality of life researchers, students, as well as for members of the general public who share an interest in the book’s subject matter.” (P. Zanor, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Vol. 8, 2013)&nbsp;

From the reviews:
TECHNOMETRICS"The book is an ambitious, and mostly successful, attempt to disseminate effective strategies for the use of regression techniques. Many of the examples are from the medical area, in which the author has worked for many years and has accumulated a wealth of experience. It is written in a clear and direct style…definitely a valuable reference for modern applications of commonly used regression techniques. Data analysis, particularly users of S-PLUS, with experience in the application of these tools will benefit the most from this book."
SHORT BOOK REVIEWS
"This is a book that leaves one breathless. It demands a lot, but gives plenty in return.&nbsp; ... The book has many sets of programming instructions and printouts, all delivered in a stacato fashion. Sets of data are large. Many different types of models and methods are discussed. There are many printouts and diagrams. Computer oriented readers will like this book immediately. Others may grow to like it. It is an essential reference for the library."
STATISTICAL METHODS IN MEDICAL RESEARCH
"This is the latest volume in the generally excellent Springer Series in Statistics, and it has to be one of the best. Professor Harrell has produced a book that offers many new and imaginative insights into multiple regression, logistic regression and survival analysis, topics that form the core of much of the statistical analysis carried out in a variety of disciplines, particularly in medicine. ... Regression Modelling Stategies is a book that many statisticians will enjoy and learn from. The problems given at the end of each chapter may also make it suitable for some postgrdauate courses, particularly those for medical students in which S-PLUS is a major component. Working through the case studies in the book will demonstrate what can be achieved with a little imagination, when modelling complex and challenging data sets. So here we have a truly excellent, informative and attractive text that is highly recommended."
MEDICAL DECISION MAKING
"Over the past 7 years, I have probably read this book, on its preversion, a half-dozen times, and I refer to it routinely. If my work bookshelf held only one book, it would be this one. The book covers, very completely, the nuances of regression modeling with particular emphasis on binary and ordinal logistic regression and parametric and nonparametric survival analysis...Harrell very nicely walks the reader through numerous analyses, explaining and defining his model-building choices at each step in the process. It is refreshing to have an author present choices and actuallly defend an approach, and in this manner."
"This book emphasizes problem solving strategies that address the many issues arising when developing multivariable models … . The author has a very motivating style and includes opinions, remarks and summary … . The logical path chosen on how to present the material is excellent. … considering the fun I had reading the book, I think that the author’s aims are met and I highly recommend everybody to have a look at the book. Moreover, I recommend purchasing the book to any library." (Diego Kuonen, Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Vol. 13 (5), 2004)
"It is a book that tries to show us how many different tools may be used in combination for regression analysis. … The author gives us plenty of references (466!) to textbooks and papers where we may read more about individual topics; most chapters end with suggestions for further reading and problems. … Many tools are illustrated in five chapter-long case studies. … the author has written a very inspiring book which should be able to teach most of us something … ." (Søren Feodor Nielsen, Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 30 (1), 2003)
"This book could serve as a wonderful textbook for a graduate-level or upper undergraduate-level data-analysis class. There are plenty of hands-on exercises … . From a researcher’s perspective, there are enough interesting ideas to easily stimulate research on other fruitful avenues. From an applied statistician’s perspective, the book fills an important gap in the field and would serve as an ideal resource. … a well laid-out, enjoyable book. I wholeheartedly recommend it … to anyone interested in the strategies of intelligent data analysis." (Sunil J. Rao, Journal of the American Statistical Association, March, 2003)
"Regression Modeling Strategies is largely about prediction. … The book is incredibly well referenced, with a 466-item bibliography. … Harrell very nicely walks the reader through numerous analyses, explaining and defining his model-building choices at each step in the process. It is refreshing to have an author present choices and actually defend an approach … . I found his arguments very convincing. Certainly, if you are interested in developing or validating prediction models, you will likely find this book to be very valuable." (Mike Kattan, Medical Decision Making, March/April, 2003)
"Professor Harrell provides descriptions of statistical strategies intended for the analysis of data using linear, logistic and proportional hazard regression models. … Harrell combines statistical theory with a modest amount of mathematics, data in the form of case studies, implementation of regression models, graphics and interpretation making it attractive to Masters or PhD level graduate students as well as biomedical researchers. … this is an excellent book for serious researchers." (Max K. Bulsara, Lab News, August/September, 2002)

“In this original and well-organized work, Blondel (European University Institute, Italy) provides a historical and comparative study of presidential systems in the world … . The book is important for students of Latin America, Africa, and the former Soviet Union because of the inclusion of key chapters, with effective tables, on the evolution of presidentialism. … a very useful book for both political science and area studies. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, research, and professional collections.” (A. Siaroff, Choice, Vol. 53 (7), March, 2016)'Jean Blondel has an aptitude for picking out important topics and demonstrating not only that there is a lot more to say about them, but also that many more basic facts are available within a comparative context. This weighty book takes the debate on Presidential leadership beyond the Anglo-American context to the neglected cases of Latin America (over 200 years), the former Soviet Union and South East Asia. Just to have a focussed discussion of politics in these countries is invaluable. But also to have well-founded generalizations about Presidential leadership will be a great aid to political analyses at a time when this topic is becoming increasingly important.'
 Ian Budge, Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, UK

'This is an insightful encyclopedic examination of the almost infinite range of variations among "Presidential Republics" in the world. I have no doubts that this book will be a central point of reference in further comparative research on presidential governments.'
 Ferdinand Müller-Rommel, Chair of Comparative Politics, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany

'Jean Blondel gives us a vital contribution to our understanding of presidentialism. He rehabilitates the image of this type of political regime by showing that the presidential invention by the Americans was an alternative to the monarchy. Hence the importance of legitimacy given to a man, the president elected by the people directly or indirectly.'
 Jean-Louis Thiebault, Professor Emeritus, University of Lille, France
