Many of the concepts and terminology surrounding modern causal inference can be quite intimidating to the novice. Judea Pearl presents a book ideal for beginners in statistics, providing a comprehensive introduction to the field of causality.

Causal methods are also compared to traditional statistical methods, whilst questions are provided at the end of each section to aid student learning.
