Dr Diane Turner said: "We are immensely proud to announce the publication of our first book. This book is a much-needed practical reference for analysts at all experience levels. We are often asked by delegates on our training courses for a comprehensive reference guide and we are very happy to now be able to recommend this book! It is a culmination of all the hard work that has gone into the book over the past few years and into the PACN course material. I hope it will be extremely useful to analysts around the world."
