Create a flyer for "Interpreting Quantitative Data"

Very interesting read and useful for improving skills in quantitative methods.

A very interesting book for those who want to specialise in qualitative data analysis.

This is a good book on interpreting, rather than simply creating, statistics. It raises awareness of the difficulties in interpreting data when, for example, variables have been deleted or, at a more advanced level, structural equation modeling has been used. A very useful reference work for people who need to work with statistics at all levels.

This is a useful text but rather too detailed for undergraduate students. I will, however, recommend it as supplementary reading to Masters' Level students.

David Byrne's book provides a useful theoretical/descriptive approach to the subject, usefully bridging the gap between the nuts and bolts stage of doing statistics and the way the "knowledge" is subsequently (ab)used in society. While some students will dismiss statistics out of hand (through terror of maths, usually), those who do get hooked, on the other hand, often become seduced by the seemingly awesome and indisputable importance of their "objective" numerical outputs.

I shall recommend this for a Masters programme, rather than the undergraduate programme I initially thought to use it with. The style and philosophy of the text is more suited to those students applying statistics to Sport at M-level

This is a really useful and interesting application of quantitative methods that I have recommended to my students. Given the general focus of the course on social research perspectives I cannot recommend it as essential reading as it only covers a couple of lectures / seminars. For those students wanting to explore quantitative data further through their MA's I have no hesitation in recommending this as both accessible and thought-provoking.
