Probably worth noting about the author:

> Robert A. Muenchen is the author of R for SAS and SPSS Users and, with Joseph M. Hilbe, R for Stata Users. He is also the creator of r4stats.com, a popular web site devoted to helping people learn R. Bob is a consulting statistician with 30 years of experience

Disclaimer: I hate R's syntax, but my company's analytics group uses R for just about everything.
