The Table of Contents includes an entry on "Using the Disk." There was no disk with the book, and no evidence that one had ever been in the covers. Also, Amazon did not directly advertise the book with a CD, and as I would have to return it to get a new book, I don't want the hassle. I would also regret it if the book were not replaced. The book is as listed--it has loads of tables, from simple to complex. I like to present my science students with data and ask them to analyze it for various purposes. Having ready sets of data on any number of subjects broadens my teaching, and lightens my load. I was researching through scholarly articles of topic interest and using the tables and charts that best applied to my needs. But this wasn't always a sure bet and was time costly. I am happy with the book. It was a big investment, but I am hoping to get the best out of it in increasing my students' number sense and logic.

Update:

I emailed the publisher and got a link to download the data...perfect! Now I'm 5-star happy!
