Alan Izenman suggests:
I have lots of places worth checking out for him. It means a lot
of reading.
Probably the first (and best) place to start is the set of Springer
books entitled "Breakthroughs in Statistics," which was edited by Kotz &
Johnson. There' are three (3) volumes: 1 (1992, corrected edition
2008), 2 (1993), and III (1997). He should remember that the choices of
breakthroughs are those of the editors, and may not be others' choices.
These volumes should lead him in all sorts of directions. Each
chapter in each of these volumes contains the original paper with an
introduction as to its significance.
His project is bordering on the history of statistics, for which
there are many (many!) books to consult. If he needs further direction,
let him contact me.
Best,
Alan.
