4.0 out of 5 starsFor the love of God, don't buy this book in Kindle
By DrDad on May 14, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
With considerable pain, I give Andy Field's marvelous, somewhat spectacular book, a 4 star rating. I bought it in Kindle, then in paper. Kindle absolutely lacks the technology to offer the book. I would rate the overall Kindle experience for this book around 2 stars. I will explain in a bit. On the other hand, for content, style, and all that makes for a great book, the paper version has it all hands down. I am a Ph.D. and an author. Never have I seen such an intelligent, witty book on statistics or for that matter on any technical subject. Field has helped me to understand statistics and their use in research in a way I never thought was possible. The paper version is 5+ stars. But books are more than just words in print. They are also a format in and of themselves, which brings me back to Kindle. I have around 200 purchases on Kindle, this is my first technical one. It is not possible to expand the graphs and charts, which are essentially unreadable (nearly microscopic) on the Kindle and are essential in understanding the subject matter. The paper version uses multiple columns and color coding to add to its readability. These are lost on Kindle Touch. Additionally, it is not at all easy to get back to your original location when you opt to tap a reference or go to a figure. You actually have to write down your original location number and "go to" the "got to" menu and type in the number "to get back." For me the Kindle works fine for a linear read, start at the beginning and go straight to the end...and I love it...but not a book that by its nature requires mobility. Now Andy, author to author, sit down with the Kindle and try to read your own book. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby. :)

5.0 out of 5 starsThe single best resource for introductory and intermediate statistics
By KCP on July 16, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is the first book review I have ever given, largely because I don't usually have the time to write a thoughtful review that I think would benefit readers. This book, however, warranted taking the time to try. I practice applied statistics and teach introductory and advanced statistics classes at a university, and I can say hands down this is the best text I have ever used for introductory to intermediate topics. It is the book I would have loved to write if I were smarter and wanted no life for several years -- I thank Andy Field for doing that for us instead. This single work could replace a dozen other quality statistics books I have because of its comprehensiveness. It is almost an anthology of statistics, but you should not let the size of the book scare you off; it is easy to read and even enjoyable. Examples have been carefully compiled and will certainly keep your interest. Even students who say they have found some examples to be a bit crass have also remarked that they don't forget the examples because they are certainly novel.

I have to strongly disagree with the few reviews stating the book is a how-to for SPSS. This is absolutely not a point and click guide. I am a firm believer that students need to know the fundamental mathematics behind statistical tests, or serious mistakes will occur, including violations of assumptions and use of the wrong tests entirely. I have seen it as a journal reviewer, and as an instructor. Field covers basic to advanced analyses with great foundational detail, but he does it in a way that does not leave readers feeling overwhelmed by the math (though it is all there). He occasionally leaves the complicated math to his additional web material, but you will find 99% of what you and/or your students need to know in the text.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsOk - older version was better!
By Amazon Customer on November 4, 2013
Format: Paperback
I previously had access to the older version of this book through the lab that I worked at, and finally decided to buy my own copy. I kind of wish that I had bought the older verison - that one seemed to be much more concise in that it provided exactly the necessary information while remaining grounded in interesting dialog. This newer version has substantially increased the amount of dialog and 'entertainment' to the point where it now seems to be too much (although I should point out that I don't actually have that older version to compare against the newer one - so my memory could be wrong). It makes it difficult to actually weed out the important information from all of this background.

The older version was great - go buy that one instead if you can find it!

4.0 out of 5 starsGood, but needs a wee bit of editing
By J. M. Dunn on February 2, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A very nice textbook I think, which clarified some concepts for me that I previously did not realize I misunderstood.
I have the third edition, however, and some of the in-text references have not been updated so that, for example, you might be referred to a text box in a different chapter that turns out to be about something else entirely. Don't low if this is corrected in the fourth edition.
Also, if you find examples of research at relate to "off color" topics such as digital rectal massage or using coca-cola as a spermicide offensive, you won't like this. Otherwise it's amusing.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Supplement to Hard Copy
By Meredith Alleruzzo on April 21, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I purchased the hard copy for graduate statistics courses a few years ago. While writing the dissertation the digital copy has provided an ability to quickly access key information while writing components of the chapters, a great plus. The hard copy is wonderful and includes the SPSS CD. Increased efficiency during the writing process is the benefit of Investment in the digital copy, in my humble opinion.
