Bridge the gap

Statistics books are either too hard or way too basic for non-statisticians.
Statistic-Software books just tell you how to run tests, but they don't help you understand what you are doing.
Don't let the book's title fool you: this book is about statistics first. Only after you have the information about what you need to do, it tells about how to do it in SPSS. The explanations are awesome, and the style, although a little too informal at times, makes it easier to read than any other statistics book I've ever read.
I just missed a section on random factors for the general linear model.

Fabulous Book on Statistics!

Andy Field rocks! He has done the seemingly impossible: written a thorough, logical book on statistics that is not only understandable but entertaining. I'm a PhD student and this is one of the best books on my book shelf - I use it constantly. And - I crack up every time I think about 'Mahlanobis thinking of his distances' and 'Kolmogorov wishing he had a Smirnov'.....

If only more scientific and technical writers could write and teach like Andy Field!!!

Comprehensive, practical, and funny!

The title of this book does not reflect its nature; instead of an academic dry exercise book, the reader will find an easy, funny reading (with no lost in substance). Andy Field writes the book just as a good lecturer speaks in a class. He has a simple and special style.

The book helped me a lot in two complicated courses in my M.Sc. in Operations Research and Decisions: "Multi Variate Forecasting and Inference" and "Data Analysis in Marketing". The author presents excellent day-to-day weird examples to explain how to develop statistical analysis in SPSS. He explains meticulously a very wide range of statistical terms and links them to SPSS actions.

The content of the book is very organized: to those who want to read it from beginning to end as well as to those who only wish to consult it for specific subjects. The chapters are graded by difficulty degree and importance, and at the end of each chapter you will find a comprehensive review of the most important topics.

Very useful and well written book.
