Editorial Reviews

Makes statistics for psychologists straightforward, easy, even – dare we say? – enjoyable. Genuinely crystal-clear and easy to follow, the contents are ordered and weighted appropriately. Utterly engaging throughout, building gradually and seamlessly from the easy to the harder, so even what’s harder isn’t difficult. Technically very sound, this couldn’t be better!

Dr George Sik and Alex Pearce, Chartered Psychologists and Associate Fellows of the British Psychological Society, eras ltd

Turns statistics into an engaging process of discovery. The tone is affable, resolutely avoiding ‘expertism’. Easily digested, it can be read at speed, assisted by the lucid prose, well-organised structure and clear, well-chosen illustrations. The reader rarely needs to re-read any of the author’s sentences to gain their full sense.
