Very Good - Buy it Now! - By: Simon, 12 Dec 2008 
A very good book, with a unique & accessible way of explaining statistics. Would reccommend to everyone!
Outstanding Book, Outstanding Author - By: Sarah, 13 Oct 2008 Although i may appear biased as i have been fortunate enough to have been lectured (stats lecture) by Andy Field I honestly beleive that this book is a MUST for all psychology students around the world who will be using SPSS at some pointin their psychology careers! It is simple, witty, funny, & makes stats easy to understand. Brilliant book! =]
If you are a statistics-phobe...this is the book for you! - By: Ivy L., 26 Aug 2008 If you are needing to learn both SPSS & statistics at the same time & intimidated at all by the math, this is a great book to help take you through the quagmire of both the SPSS software, the principles of statistics & make sense of it all too! Andy Field has done an excellent job at taking much of the mystery out of how & why to use the various tests. The book is comprehensive but the analysis of my research & study is focussed primarily on correlation, t-tests & regression. There are chaptersin the book I will probably never read as I cannot foresee ever needing to read them. But, the book is very useful for referencing particular areas & providing a tutorial as you are working.
I love the way Andy has created & inserted his characters throughout the book - as I can identify myself as a cross between Cramming Samantha & Brian Haemorrhage.
Because I found Andy's book & CD so useful, I have not done any comparisons with other books. So, far, it has provided everything I have needed.
If you thought statatistics is complicated, this is the book for you - By: Galit Landsberger, 21 Jul 2008 I am a post doctoral civil engineering student. I have been struggling with advanced statistics for months...when the problem was I did not have a good grasp of basic concepts. This book solved it allin a matter of days.
After reading this book.. you will be able to understand all the other more "complicated book" that you need to use.
If what you are paying for is for someone to expain stat & SPSS to you, this is your book.
