OK all, I'm a research forest ecologist who worked for the US Fish & Wildlife Service and the US Geological Survey for 16 years after studying under Dr. Sharitz at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory. Most of my work has been in bottomland hardwood forest and cypress/tupelo swamps of the Southeastern United States. My data analysis tool was SAS, and I do some programming in Visual Basic.  I now work with a very small company that has little in the way of data analysis or graphics capabilites. I therefore downloaded R and am trying to figure it out. 
 
Other than the "Introduction to R" manual and other things on the R website can you recommend a good book on R. My analysis needs are not that complex. I currently need to do an ANOVA on two tree populations to see if they are significantly different with respect to size (one area was polluted and the other is a control). I also need to do some point-quarter analysis for two separate forest populations, one in NE Texas and the other in S Mississipp).
 
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
