From the reviews of the second edition:SHORT BOOK REVIEWS"The text reads fluently and beautifully throughout, with light, good-humoured touches that warm the reader without being intrusive. There are many examples and exercises, some of which draw out the essence of work of other authors. Each chapter ends with a "Notes" section containing further brief descriptions of research papers. A reference section lists about eight hundred and sixty references. Each chapter begins with a quotation from "The Wheel of Time" a sequence of books by Robert Jordan. Only a few displays and equations have numbers attached. This is an extremely fine, exceptional text of the highest quality."ISI Short Book Reviews, April 2002JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL PSYCHOLOGY"This book is an excellent introduction to Bayesian statistics and decision making.

Synopsis
through its decision-theoretic foundations, while the message contained in the other book and transmitted only through processing datasets is that the Bayesian methodology is a universal and multifaceted tool for data analysis. While introducing wider and less mathematical audiences to the elegance and simplicity of the Bayesian methodology in a shorter and therefore more focussed volume was also necessary, if only because some learnbetter from examplesthan fromtheory, I came to the conclusionthat there was no paradox in insisting on those foundations in another book! I am therefore immensely thankful to Jean-Michel Marin for initiating this epiphany (if I may rightly borrow this expression from Joyce!), as well as forseveralyearsofintensecollaboration. Similarly,theDeGrootPrizec- mittee of the ISBA--International Society for Bayesian Analysis--World meeting of 2004 in Valparaiso, Chile, greatly honored me by attributing to The Bayesian Choice this prestigious prize. In doing so, this committee highlighted the relevance of both foundations and implementation for the presentandfuture ofBayesianStatistics,when itstated thatthe"book sets a new standard for modern textbooks dealing with Bayesian methods, es- cially those using MCMC techniques, and that it is a worthy successor to DeGroot's and Berger's earlier texts". I am quite indebted to the members of the committee for this wonderful recognition. Third, it has been more than 18 years since I started working with John Kimmel from Springer New York (on a basic Probability textbook with Arup Bose that never materialized), and I always appreciated the support heprovidedoverthevariouseditionsofthebooks., Bayesian statistics is a very active research area with new theoretical results and applications. This book will serve as an introduction to the area., This graduate-level textbook, now in paperback, presents an introduction to Bayesian statistics and decision theory. Its scope covers both the basic ideas of statistical theory and some modern and advanced topics of Bayesian statistics., This is an introduction to Bayesian statistics and decision theory, including advanced topics such as Monte Carlo methods. This new edition contains several revised chapters and a new chapter on model choice.
