Banned in China!

Filed under: Data Analysis — Patrick Durusau @ 7:21 am

Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models (ISBN-13: 9780521686891) has been banned in China due to politically sensitive materials in the text.

What politically sensitive materials in the text set off the censors is unknown at this point but apparently queries are pending.

There is only one response to censorship or attempts at censorship:

Order a copy of the work in question and urge others to do so as well. (Or assist in the dissemination of the materials.)

I say that without qualification or limitation.

Censorship, whether political (insulting the government), national security (diplomatic cables for example), religious (cartoons), or otherwise, is the refuge of the insecure.

If something bothers you, don’t look.

PS: I just ordered my copy, how about you?
