This is an AWESOME book; it is friendly, easy to understand and better than any stats book i have read (i've read many!). For those who are not into the math but conceptual understanding of statistics and mystified with SPSS, this IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. It saved me in a big way and helped me understand stats like never before. Thanks Dr. Babbie - may you write a similar book for multivariate stats and spss (my next challenge!).
