Review :
"Interpreting Data: A Guide to Understanding Research is a little book that serves its mission well." Teaching Sociology, Volume 34, 2006 Review by Susanne Morgan, Ithaca College   Interpreting Data is straightforward, and an instructor could use it to devise exercises in locating and analyzing sources. With its companion Research Navigator Guide, this book could be a particularly valuable package for a research methods or statistics course that requires students to find sources, analyze their structure, understand the data presented, and write competently.
