The book, by Robert Muenchen (Univ of Tennessee) -- author of "R for SAS and SPSS Users" -- and myself, was written for those Stata users who also want to learn R. Many journal articles and books use R for examples. To better understand them it is necessary to obtain a basic knowledge of R - which this text aims to teach. I in no way would ever give up Stata as my primary, and foremost, statistical application. Stata is much easier to use than R and has a truly wide range of capabilities -- and I just like it. But, if you do find yourself in need of learning R, for whatever reason, we have tried to make it easier by focusing on the functional relationships that exist between Stata and R.
