Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book is written for anyone who needs or wants to know how statistics work. It assumes no expert knowledge, and teaches through words and diagrams rather than through figures, formulae and equations - providing the perfect approach for the non-mathematical reader. Written as a "tutorial in print", Derek Rowntree includes questions in his argument; readers can answer them as they go, enabling them to measure their performance and judge how far they have mastered the subject.

About the Author
Derek Rowntree has qualifications in Economics and Education as well as a higher doctorate awarded for his contribution to developing open and distance learning. He has worked in industry as well as in schools, colleges and universities in the UK and abroad. For some years, he has been Professor of Education Development at the Open University, where he takes particular interest in vocational education.

4.0 out of 5 stars If only....., April 4, 2009
By Bumble33 "Bumble33" (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This book really helps with basic statistics, but it's not going to take all you troubles away. Having said that, I am less scared of quantitative projects and SPSS as a result of reading it, but still sobbing in my Kleenex every time I have to do it....so there.
