I'd like to say that first off, I can't stand that the majority of the reviews here are about the delivery of this POS textbook. This is not Ebay!

What is inside the book is what counts and this book for me is an absolute nightmare. I have never taken a statistics class before and being an online student with no time and no access to tutors is an absolute disaster. This book is of no use to a person who is not previously familiar to statistics. It provides no effective examples of the problems for a person to effectively reverse engineer. If you have this book for an online class, you should seek a different means to learn statistics. This book was written with an assumption that you will retain 92% of what you read every week. I'm paying about $1100 for this class and I want a refund for the book!

If nothing else, this book recognizes that those who are in the social sciences may have had difficult experiences with statistics in the past that focused purely on the formulas. This book can't make stats 'easy', but it does its best to make it understandable - breaking down the reasoning behind each formulaic move so that you can truly understand the meaning behind the numbers. If you have an option of taking a stats class with this book as opposed to a straight stats for beginners, I'd recommend this one any day.

I got this book because it was required for my class. I know statistics well, but I'm not particularly math-savvy. Anyway, if it's required, get it, but it's not exactly a fun read, and it can be rather confusing if you don't already know what they are talking about.

Received in good quality with no rips, tears, or water damage noted. Arrived promply as stated at time of purchase.

This Fall semester I took Statistics 300 - which is the first statistics level for biology/psychology majors at my school. The material was difficult but this book definitely helped for the sections that I referred to.

Book was in the condition stated arriving in a timely manner as specified.

The text of this book was good but difficult to read. At times it seemed confusing as one chapter did not always flow into the next.

Initially, I found the prospect of a Quantitative Methods course somewhat intimidating. For that reason, I decided to order Statistics for The Behavioral and Social Sciences: A Brief Course (5th Edition) well before the beginning of the semester. Statistics arrived very quickly (and in excellent condition) giving me ample opportunity to get acquainted with the text. I, now, feel greatly prepared for the oncoming semester.

I ordered this book the 12th of July, it is 17th of August

and I haven't seen it or know what happened to it.I have

a lot of mixed thoughts about not getting the book. Was it the sellers fault or Amazons fault. I sure was disappointed. Hubie

Book was exactly what I needed for class - fast response and turn-around time. Thank you.

The service was on time and in good condition with no markings, as promised. I recommend this provider for all of your text book needs.
