About this title

Review:

"I enjoy the authors' writing styles and the examples given to explain certain terms and concepts."

"I like the clear references and examples for difficult topics, especially research methodologies and various types of analyses. Students tend to be fearful of statistics and research, in general, when they start the course, so a text that provides a lot of practical information in a readable, understandable way is important."
