The World System and the Earth System
Explains statistics to even the most math-anxious, inept student (you know, like me). Gentle step by step approach with more emphasis on concept coherence and not necessarily dry formulaic teaching. Definitely worth a read if you're studying this subject and may even be helpful if it's not the text of choice for your class. My only quibble is that my version did not come with SSPS, which made me draw a blank on some exercises. Otherwise, well worth the time.
