Review

I think this is a really good starting point for teaching stats and ndash; from assuming students knows nothing about and taking them gradually to a more advanced understanding. The book is and ndash; very helpfully- full of interesting examples and engaging style of writing. I like it that the book has several and lsquo;levels of difficulty and rsquo; and engages both with practical stats and theory. The book I believe is targeted at UG students mainly, but some chapters can be recommended to MA students on research methods courses provided that they know nothing about statistics and ndash; the book is written in a very accessible manner which means that it can satisfy the need of international students in terms of level of difficulty and language (and business programmes normally have a lot of international students at MA level). The explanations are logically organized and explained in a lucid and clear manner. Little features like and lsquo;faces and rsquo; I believe would make the book more attractive to UG students. I think self-test questions and the tasks at the end of chapter are very helpful, as well as the real world data and (often humorous) examples. My course is MA so I am not adopting this book for a course as a main text, but I may recommend it to students who are completely unfamiliar with statistics.Maria Karepova

About the Author

Andy Field is Professor of Quantitative Methods at the University of Sussex. He has published widely (100+ research papers, 29 book chapters, and 17 books in various editions) in the areas of child anxiety and psychological methods and statistics. His current research interests focus on barriers to learning mathematics and statistics.

He is internationally known as a statistics educator. He has written several widely used statistics textbooks including Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics (winner of the 2007 British Psychological Society book award), Discovering Statistics Using R, and An Adventure in Statistics (shortlisted for the British Psychological Society book award, 2017; British Book Design and Production Awards, primary, secondary and tertiary education category, 2016; and the Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers Award for innovation in publishing, 2016), which teaches statistics through a fictional narrative and uses graphic novel elements. He has also written the adventr and discovr packages for the statistics software R that teach statistics and R through interactive tutorials.

His uncontrollable enthusiasm for teaching statistics to psychologists has led to teaching awards from the University of Sussex (2001, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019), the British Psychological Society (2006) and a prestigious UK National Teaching fellowship (2010).

He′s done the usual academic things: had grants, been on editorial boards, done lots of admin/service but he finds it tedious trying to remember this stuff. None of them matter anyway because in the unlikely event that you′ve ever heard of him it′ll be as the ′Stats book guy′. In his spare time, he plays the drums very noisily in a heavy metal band, and walks his cocker spaniel, both of which he finds therapeutic.

Great introductory book for statistics learners, even for those with English as a non first language background. Kindle version is great also, providing a handy function that allows you to read the book in any devices (I use my laptop and iPhone). I also love the dictionary function which allow me to look up any unknown words in the book simply by highlighting it.

This was first & only text book I've bought on kindle. Won't do kindle text books again - too awkward for me - I missed being able to write in the margins, bookmark pages etc. Just felt like hard work. Content amusing, but I'd have preferred clearer & more succinct explanations.

One of the best books that made Statistics fun, it made several concepts so easy to understand that I wish it to be recommended by universities as textbook. I had already gone through the pdf and was sure to buy the hardcopy.

Reviewed in Canada on 14 November 2019

After taking numerous classes on stats and then forgetting it all after needing to use stats for my thesis, I purchased this book, which I didn't touch until last year. It was so engaging and of course, helpful. Bought this 5 years ago and the concepts are still relevant and the jokes are still funny.

In this book there is absolutely everything I have always needed to know about statistics and SPSS. It's extremely well written, examples are funny and easy to understand. It guides you through every step of the process, from choosing the statistics, to conducting it, interpreting it and reporting the results. I totally recommend it.
