Review :
"Without question, this text will be the most authoritative source of information on statistics in the human services. From my point of view, it is a definitive work that combines a rigorous pedagogy with a down to earth (commonsense) exploration of the complex and difficult issues in data analysis (statistics) and interpretation. I welcome its publication. Bravo!" "Bravo! A superb, well-written book." "A well written, easy-to-understand text on statistics . . . There are many good case examples that are grounded in social work practice and help to make social work research meaningful to students." "The author includes, in simple and clear terms, many statistical issues that other beginning statistics texts do not. I like the social work/helping professions examples . . . The foot-noted SPSS instructions are useful and easy to follow."
