'Learning from Data: An Introduction to Statistical Reasoning' teaches you a new way of thinking about and learning about the world. After you have learned the basics of statistical reasoning, you will be in a good position to understand psychological data, and their limitations. More important, even if you are not planning a career in psychology, you will learn how to evaluate data that affect all aspects of your life: psychological, social, educational, political, economic. You will learn new ways to think, to question, to challenge.

Review

"My teaching assistants and students, as well as other statistics instructors in my department, regard it as the best introductory statistics book available...The connection of the dialogue with the real world ... is the book’s greatest strength. It keeps ... many of the students engaged in a subject where they often expect to be bored." -Daniel S. Levine, PhD, University of Texas at Arlington

"...it is a rigorous yet clear text with an emphasis on power that ...is lacking in many other introductory texts... I love the idea of focusing on Excel...I ... have been using Glenberg for the past 4 or 5 years....I will seriously consider its adoption (and almost certainly will adopt it)." -Richard E. Zinbarg, PhD, Northwestern University

Praise for the first edition:
"...an unusually attractive new entry in the introductory statistics sweepstakes....Chapters are well organized....Examples seem to be clear and easy to follow, with a six part scheme used consistently to outline statistical tests."
―Contemporary Psychology
