This books was unsatisfactory. The 7th edition brags about having trimmed bits and pieces from what must have already been the slimmest math book I've seen. I presume that this was done by the surviving author since the other one died in 2003. The result is that the book appears to have been (repeatedly) condensed at the expense of clarity. The authors try to simplify and simplify and in the end simplify it in their head and in the process fail to connect with people with the mindset that expects statistics to be related to mathematics. It is not a collegeworthy textbook as far as I'm concerned, and was used in a course that was so dumbed down that I did not once use a calculator or even basic algebra.

The only thing that really impressed me about this book was the size to price ratio, which was pretty awful even for a college textbook.

Not bad. presents some topics circuitously, seemingly trying to water it down for behavioral sciences. It does the job, but would not be my first recommendation.

When I received this textbook in the mail I was extremely surprised by how good of condition it was in. It looked brand new and the price was very fair.

I bought this textbook for an Experimental Psychology class and it was very useful. The content reinforced what's been covered in lectures. Even after I am finished with the course, I am still using the textbook for reference. Illustrations on how to analyze data on SPSS are detailed and helpful. Also, the examples make concepts easier to understand and more interesting! I highly recommended this textbook because it does not only teach students how to calculate statistical problems, it teaches us how to apply the formulas to daily life situations - which makes everything more retainable.

Bought for a class. Didn't read all required assignments, because I rarely do. :) But the book really helped reinforce the lectures and was a fantastic resource for working problems, formulas, etc.

The textbook came in quite a timely manner, it was brand new and wrapped efficently. I would buy from this seller again.

I received the book in a timely manner and in the condition which was noted buy the seller.

I Never Received My Book! And They Didn't Help Me...They Just Said They Sent It To Me On A Date!!
