'In this brilliant new edition, Andy Field has introduced important new introductory material on statistics that the student will need and was missing at least in the first edition. This book is the best blend that I know of a textbook in statistics and a manual on SPSS. It is a balanced composite of both topics, using SPSS to illustrate important statistical material and, through graphics, to make visible important approaches to data analysis. There are many places in the book where I had to laugh, and that's saying a lot for a book on statistics. His excellent style engages the reader and makes reading about statistics fun' - David C Howell, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont, USA. This award-winning text, now fully updated with SPSS Statistics, is the only book on statistics that you will need! Fully revised and restructured, this new edition is even more accessible as it now takes students through from introductory to advanced level concepts, all the while grounding knowledge through the use of SPSS Statistics. Andy Field's humorous and self-deprecating style and the book's host of characters make the journey entertaining as well as educational. While still providing a very comprehensive collection of statistical methods, tests and procedures, and packed with examples and self-assessment tests to reinforce knowledge, the new edition now also offers: a more gentle introduction to basic-level concepts and methods for beginners; new textbook features to make the book more user-friendly for those learning about more advanced concepts, encouraging 'critical thinking'; a brand new, full-colour design, making it easy for students to navigate between topics, and to understand how to use the latest version of SPSS Statistics; both 'real world' (the bizarre and the wonderful) and invented examples that illustrate the concepts and make the techniques come alive for students; an additional chapter on multilevel modelling for advanced-level students; and, reinforced binding to make the book easier to handle at a computer workstation. The book also includes access to a brand new and improved companion Website, bursting with features including: animated 'SPSS walk-through' videos clearly demonstrating how to use the latest SPSS Statistics modules; self-marking multiple choice questions; data sets for psychology, business and management and health sciences; a flash-card glossary for testing knowledge of key concepts; and, access to support material from SAGE study skills books. Statistics lecturers are also provided with a whole range of resources and teaching aids, including: the test bank; over 300 multiple-choice questions ready to upload to WebCT, Blackboard or other virtual learning environments; charts and diagrams in electronic format for inclusion in lecture slides; and, PowerPoint slides written by the author to accompany chapters of the text.

Review

'The mathematics behind the tests is always given in considerable detail. This is admirable and helps students to see the logics behind the tests...I like the exploration of the various options for the tests he discusses, and the discussions of the pros and cons of specific variants of tests' - Nurse Researcher

Excellent Book, Brilliant Author, Absolutely Love it!!

Andy Field's book for me reinforces a maxim - that British academics are far superior to their American counterparts in writing accessible texts. All of my favorite textbooks are written by British authors. They are all logical and do an excellent job in holding the reader's hand. Among these, Andy's book is exceptional. You can tell from the organization, use of visuals, textual signposts, etc that Andy attaches great importance to making the book accessible to his readers. The introduction to each chapter relates a personal (usually from childhood) experience of the author and cleverly weaves statistical concepts (relevant to the chapter) into the narrative which by the way is written in a very witty and funny way (just like every other part of the textbook). This enables you to understand from the get-go what the general idea of the chapter is. But it gets better. The rest of the chapter is an excellent and lucid explanation of the theory and SPSS practice of the concepts, infused with a special sense of humor. The author is able to predict which bits might be boring (difficult) to the reader - and the textual development reflects this understanding. He almost apologizes for the theory sections - which injects a sense of humanity in an academic textbook. If you just go straight to the SPSS section (skipping theory), you should still be able to follow the step by step (hand-holding) explanation that Andy patiently provides.

Some prudish readers might find the kind of humor in Andy's book not exactly to their taste - but then they need to read the subtitles of the book before purchasing - instead of leaving negative comments here.

Some other commenters (or 'mean-spiritied badger turds - as Andy affectionately calls them) complain that the cat/sex/ examples in the book are not the same as the data set they are working on. But this is silly - which textbook would use YOUR dataset as an illustration? The examples that Andy use had a lot of thought that went into them. They were devised to achieve maximum clarity and relevant to the chapter's content - so that you can understand the concepts!

I absolutely love this book. If every other textbook were written in this way, knowledge acquisition would be easier, faster, and ENJOYABLE experience for everyone. Thank you Andy for showing the rest of the world THE WAY!!

If you want to master statistics, then you are at the right place...This book will guide you through statistics in a the most interesting way...

I am quite grateful to the services from Amazon.in. Flipkart.com didn't deliver it promise, even the publisher SAGE forgot to respond.

Ich bin wirklich kein Genie was Statistik angeht und dieses Buch rettet mir so wie es aussieht meinen Allerwertesten....

Es wird sehr einfach erklärt wie man von A nach B bzw. von dem was man hat auf ein sinnvolles Ergebnis kommt.
Ich bin zufrieden! Klar, ist auf Englisch, aber wer sich mit Statistik rumschlägt den soll ja wohl ein bisschen Englisch nicht vom Erfolg abhalten, oder?! ;)
