'This engagingly written and nicely opinionated book is a blend of friendly introduction and concisely applicable detail. 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 Essex
Really good and essential for Year 1 or Year 2 students.
Good introduction to the subject. Well explained. Printing quality could be better.
Good introductory text for Stats. Well written!
This text provides a good introduction to the most important statistical topics, and is well suited for students who do not have an extensive quantitative background, such as my class of Facility Management students.
Very accessible writing style and inspiring hands-on approach.
A well written and easy-to-read introductory text with numerous good understandable examples.
This is a very good book but doesn't cover the main topics required of the syllabus. I would however recommend the text to students for study as supplementary material. Having said this the book is of excellent quality and is very well written.
This text explains the fundamentals of statistics well with the integrated examples. This would make a good text for the junior lecturer with a variety of good exercises.
Excellent primer which doesn't sacrifice rigour for the sake of making statistics usable. It really does provide the basic building blocks that anyone using methods should have.
Will be useful for when just satarting the process of the use of statistics. Also using 'The Tiger that isn't'
I trialled this with a few students and they often found the examples very useful - you get a strong sense that this is written by someone who actually does analysis (e.g. the section on pragmatic approaches to measurement).
Excellent simple approach to understanding statistics
The undergraduate students need a statistics book that talks to them and helps them understand the bigger picture not just numbers. This text will do that.
Great book
