Abstract
This book review first explores the treatment within the volume What If There Were No Significance Tests? of five selected major themes: (a) effect sizes, (b) the "nil" null hypothesis, (c) power and the "file drawer" problem, (d) language use, and (e) replicability evidence. Relevant literature is also cited in each area. Then, a brief review of the 14 chapters is presented, and some summary comments are offered.
