author:  Robert F. Szafran 
description: This is a very student-friendly text. The author has succeeded in writing a basic statistics text that is inviting rather than off-putting. Author: Michael J. Handel Published On: 2011-09-30<br /><br />Accessible and approachable, this book makes a conscious effort to appeal to contemporary social science students who may not have a strong affinity for mathematics. Author: Meena Chary Published On: 2011-09-30<br /><br />I truly value the ease with which the author conveys oftentimes confusing and scary information to students. Author: Noelle E. Fearn Published On: 2011-09-30<br /><br />Those looking for a full integration of the theory of statistics and its application (through SPSS) will find no better book that this one. Author: Steven G. Prus Published On: 2011-09-30<br /><br />The text proceeds in a logical order, building upon what was covered earlier. This is one of its strong suits: it presents the topics in a logical, practical order. It also covers the necessary statistics. Author: Charles N. Coleman Published On: 2011-09-30
