This text is written from the perspective that statistics is an integrated set of tools used together to uncover the story contained in numerical data. Accordingly, the text comes with a disk containing a series of real data sets to motivate discussions of appropriate methods of analysis. The presentation is informal, yet rigorous; it is based on a conceptual approach supported by an understanding of underlying mathematical foundations. Students learn that more than one method of analysis is typically needed and that an ample characterization of results is a critical component of any data analytic plan. The use of real data and SPSS to perform computations and create graphical summaries not only enables a greater emphasis on conceptual understanding and interpretation, but also allows students to study statistics in a way that reflects statistical practice.

'A hands-on approach and a wealth of exercises and examples immerse the reader in the process of data analysis from the very beginning. Students and practitioners alike will benefit from the book's careful, gentle prose, its use of real data, and its step-by-step demonstrations of analytical techniques in SPSS. Perhaps best of all, the authors remain firmly grounded in application.' Sean P. Corcoran, Steinhardt School of Education, New York University
An introductory applied statistics text that can be used for a one, or two, semester course at either undergraduate or graduate level. Central features are the use of real data, the presentation of statistical methods with a conceptual emphasis, and the integration of SPSS reflecting statistical practice.
