Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-23 00:00:00 Vincent Vanburik I've been carrying this around with me for ten months and a tangible weight is going to fall off my shoulders when I finally drop it into the returns bin. (Although, to be fair, it did cure me of my false belief that I couldn't learn statistics. Which explains the five stars.)

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-08 00:00:00 Andrew Nicolai It broke down the concepts to easy steps, and the steps stayed constant through the whole book. The boxes the authors added in were at times rather amusing (I found myself laughing at the jokes they inserted in their boxes in which they explained the love some people feel for stats). The authors also added in boxes about famous statistics which, to be honest I had never heard any of them of before now, so that was an interesting way to break up the mathematical information. Overall I thought this was a good textbook, it presented the information clearly, gave examples often and explained every step (sometimes to the point where it was a little redundant) and allowed the reader to read the steps in words, then in formulas, then with examples and then allowed the reader to try it out with problem questions both in the chapter and after the chapter in the summary section. Also (and I don't know if this is the norm in stats textbooks) it broke down how to use SPSS which I liked because that program I found could be a bit confusing.
