Statistics and biology

[Edmundo Castro]

Hello all!  I was wondering if anyone can recommend a text that examines/reviews the 
applications of statistics to biological research.  My statistics background is 
non-existent (looking for a good class at UCLA) but would love to get my hands on 
something ASAP.  From the basics (R square value, probabilites) to more advance 
stuff (bootstrapping, etc).
Plus, if anyone knows of references discussing the pros and cons of different 
statistical analysis I would appreciate getting them as well.

Thanks to all in advance!
