Review

I′ve been using Discovering... with SPSS... for a couple of years & have just updated to the 5th edition. I LOVE chapter 3, and have actually been covering a lot of that material in my class, so it′s nice to have it explicit in the text as well.

"I never thought I would find a statistics textbook amusing but somehow our text pulls it off.  I also appreciated the online supplementary tools provided by the publisher.  If you haven′t seen them yet, you should check them out.  They provide a good synthesis of each of the chapters and some easy options to review."

"I get started on the text and can′t agree more with you on how the book is. I also appreciate how the author made the text interesting to read, but the content is rich enough to provide readers good knowledge on how to draw insights from stats and data. Also, it provides a lot of practical guides for reporting results and findings for research paper. Can′t wait to take a deeper dive into the text!"
