Review

'This is an excellent book which serves two purposes. It fills a much needed gap in the literature for the historian who isn't particularly happy in handling numerical data. it also benefits other students who require a passing knowledge of statistics. nothing to my knowledge, has come on the market since Maroney's Facts from Figures in the 1950s provides such an extensive insight into statistical methodology.' Open History

'No competitor text is as effective ... I wish this text had been available when I was trying to teach quantitative methods.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'... this is a very impressive, an d very welcome, book. Feinstein and Thomas are to be congratulated for producing a comprehensive, nontechnical introduction to quantitative methods for historians which I am sure will soon be compulsory reading on every course catering to such an audience.' Business History

'... no competitor text is, to my knowledge, as effective in taking the student from the basics of descriptive statistics through to the intricacies of multiple linear regression ... I wish this text had been available when I was trying to teach quantitative methods to numerically challenged historians...'. The Times Higher Education Supplement
