It’s existed as a word and a form of publication in Japan for over two hundred years.

Do you mean nonparametric tests? – all the ones you mention are, I will assume, the parametric versions.

Sounds like an interesting book, but it is disappointing that Excel is the tool of choice. I know that it is (almost) universally available, but its statistical tools are abysmal, and many still have serious problems. (Not to mention the poor quality of the graphs it produces.)

This reminds me a bit of “The Cartoon Guide to Statistics” by Larry Gonick and another person, from the early 1980s.
