 If you thought statatistics is complicated, this is the book for you July 21, 2008

I am a post doctoral civil engineering student. I have been struggling with advanced statistics for months...when the problem was I did not have a good grasp of basic concepts. This book solved it all in a matter of days.
After reading this book.. you will be able to understand all the other more "complicated book" that you need to use.
If what you are paying for is for someone to expain stat and SPSS to you, this is your book.

This book was my saviour during my dissertation. A must for any psychology student about to tackle SPSS!
Makes statistics a bit more manageable April 21, 2008

I did a research project in Psychology with only very basic knowledge of statistics. I always hated statistics and tried to avoid them as much as possible. I was recommended this book, and was so glad I bought it. The style is quite refreshing and engaging, filling you with confidence as you learn.
At times it is a bit over-detailed, and you have to sift through to get to what to what you need, however, this is a strength of the book. I've seen some other books which explain what you do, but not why. Leaarning how principles can be applied to various situations is far more beneficial, as it's rare that your data will be similar to the examples in a book. If you're willing to spend just a little bit of time with it, you will find that you have a good basic knowledge of statistics, able to tackle increasingly complex problems
A lifesaver March 11, 2008

To my undying shame, despite more than a decade in market research and now holding the exalted title of Research Director, I'm still a bit hazy about statistics. This excellent book, of which I've bought two copies and recommended to many others, provides a clear and engaging description of both simple and complex statistical concepts. And it comes with a free CD! Unfortunately, it's of SPSS files rather than Andy Field's favourite music. This book has stopped me getting found out, and it might do the same for you.

A must for any Psychology BSc programmes. It give all the information in a light-hearted and easy to understand way. Wouldn't have got through without it!
