R help - Aug 2003 - Book recommendations: Multilevel & longitudinal analysis

Hi, does anyone out there have a recommendation for multilevel / random
effects and longitudinal analysis?

My dream book would be something that's both accessible to a
non-statistician but rigorous (because I seem to be slowly turning into a
statistician) and ideally would use R.

Three suggestions:

1.) Raudenbush and Bryk, _Hierarchical Linear Models: Second Edition_
(Sage, 2002)

2.) Pinheiro and Bates, _Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-Plus_ (Springer)

3.) Fox, _An R and S-Plus Companion to Applied Regression_, plus the
appendix available via the web on multilevel models.
