No-one can recall every statistical formula, but if they have this book they will know where to look' - Professor Jon May, University of Plymouth'This is one of the best books I have come across for teaching introductory statistics. The illustrative examples are engaging and often humorous and the explanations of 'difficult' concepts are written in a wonderfully clear and intuitive way' - Nick Allum, University of EssexSelected as an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine, January 2010First (and Second) Steps in Statistics, Second Edition provides a clear and concise introduction to the main statistical procedures used in the social and behavioural sciences and is perfect for the statistics student starting their journey. The rationale and procedure for analyzing data are presented through exciting examples with an emphasis on understanding rather than computation. It is ideally suited for introductory courses in statistics given its gentle beginning, yet progressive treatment of topics.

An accompanying Web page includes information for each chapter using the statistical packages SPSS and R. |
