I was once told that no one should use AIC for model selection without reading this book first and I definitely can’t disagree, having finally done so myself. A great introduction to AIC and the statistical philosophies behind it and similar concepts.

My second recent 'for-fun' textbook. I thought this was extremely well written. Anderson makes a concise case for using mathematical models as tools for inferring structure in biological processes. He simplifies statistical theory in palatable concepts which seem very tractable to apply. I picked this up to supplement my understanding of information theoretic metrics for comparing different models and found that this text gave me new ideas to test in my project.

Solid all-around introduction to the theory and scientific application of AIC in model selection.
