Discovering Statistics Using SPSS, Third Edition
Written in his vivid and entertaining style, Andy Field continues to provide students with everything they need to understand, use and report statistics—at every level—in the brand-new Third Edition of Discovering Statistics Using SPSS. Retaining the strong pedagogy from previous editions, he makes statistics meaningful by including playful examples from everyday student life (among other places), creating a gateway into the often intimidating world of statistics. In the process, he presents an opportunity for students to ground their knowledge of statistics through the use of SPSS.

Using SPSS for Social Statistics and Research Methods, Third Edition
Ideal as a companion to a statistics or research methods text or as a stand-alone guide, this book uses images and directions drawn directly from SPSS/PASW Version 18.0 (for both PC and Mac computers) to teach undergraduate students how to use the software to manage data or to conduct statistical data analysis. This fully updated pocket-size guide addresses a wide variety of data analysis topics, making it useful for the classroom or for independent study, and offers a number of useful insider tips and hints for students. The Third Edition also offers the use of a dataset from the latest version of the General Social Survey (GSS).
