′There′s lots to commend this book. It′s readable, helpful, humorous and works to gently guide the reader through an unfamiliar new territory. The aim is to give the reader both the knowledge and the confidence to think about statistics and how it′s used in the real world′

With a new chapter, enhanced graphics, an instructor′s manual and practice data sets, the Second Edition of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics builds on the success of the First Edition by approaching an often intimidating and difficult subject in a way that is informative, personable, and clear. The text does this through the use of a conversational tone that takes students through various statistical procedures beginning with simple descriptions of data including correlations and graphical representation of data and ending with inferential techniques up through analysis of variance. In addition, there is coverage of using SPSS (and lots of data sets for hands-on experience), a review of more advanced statistical techniques, coverage of reliability, validity, introductory non-parametric, and more. Chapters contain features such as sidebars offering additional technical information about the topic (not essential but of interest to many students) and set-off points that reinforce major themes. Finally, questions to chapter exercises and a complete glossary are located at the back of the book.

Neil J. Salkind received his PhD in human development from the University of Maryland, and after teaching for 35 years at the University of Kansas, he was Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology and Research in Education, where he collaborated with colleagues and work with students. His early interests were in the area of children’s cognitive development, and after research in the areas of cognitive style and (what was then known as) hyperactivity, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina’s Bush Center for Child and Family Policy. His work then changed direction to focus on child and family policy, specifically the impact of alternative forms of public support on various child and family outcomes. He delivered more than 150 professional papers and presentations; written more than 100 trade and textbooks; and is the author of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics (SAGE), Theories of Human Development (SAGE), and Exploring Research (Prentice Hall). He has edited several encyclopedias, including the Encyclopedia of Human Development, the Encyclopedia of Measurement and Statistics, and the Encyclopedia of Research Design. He was editor of Child Development Abstracts and Bibliography for 13 years. He lived in Lawrence, Kansas, where he liked to read, swim with the River City Sharks, work as the proprietor and sole employee of big boy press, bake brownies (see www.statisticsforpeople.com for the recipe), and poke around old Volvos and old houses.
