Field always does a great job. Shape of the book is unwieldy, I prefer the smaller and thicker format, rather than the wider and slimmer one that this this edition.

Best drunk purchase yet. Andy Field makes stats easy, and I like the formatting of the new book. My cat also loves to take naps on it, so it is a great two for one.

`I am just so grateful for all of Andy Field’s books. He makes statistics so easy, a caveman can do it. He tells you everything that you need to know about a test. As a doctoral student, I could never understand this stuff fully until I came across Andy’s book. Now, light bulbs are going off everywhere. Thanks, Andy!!

Order arrived on time. Renting it was easy. The book was actually pretty helpful and wasn’t horribly boring. The author has a great sense of humor. Might purchase since I only rented previously. Used this for my graduate class in a industrial organizational psychology program.

Great book that allows you to get into statistics at the level you are comfortable with. Explanations are very clear and understandable. The book is also a great way to get exposure on how to use SPSS. Highly recommend.

made statistics much easier to understand through the use of real life examples

Field provides a very straightforward approach to teaching statistics in this book. I’m getting my PhD and my dissertation is a quantitative study and I decided to use SPSS to analyze the data. Field breaks down how to use SPSS for every statistical method I am planning on using in a step-by-step manner. This book is filled with many examples to help you understand each new concept. My only minor grip is in many of his examples, he labels one of the dichotomous variables as “sex” when it should clearly be “gender” as the only choices are “male” and “female”, not “yes” or “no” (or how often which would make it an interval variable).

A very user friendly text book for a person afraid of statistics.

Rented then purchased. Heavy book. Lots of information and pictures.

I love Andy Fields way of breaking statistics down into small bites that students can chew. I always recommend this textbook to all of my students in my Biostatistics class.

Very helpful especially with the online extensions

I had to purchase this textbook for a course in my Masters program. The content of the book is particularly helpful, however, like the other reviews on this text, it arrived damaged. The book is still usable, however, it was disappointing to purchase something that is listed as “new” and have it arrive as damaged.

Arrived in perfect condition!

I have no idea what these bad reviewers are thinking, but without going Freud on them, I’d advise them to pull the stick out of their butt and get over freaking out over a mention of sex. This is the ONLY stats book that remotely makes any sense to me. This American thanks Andy for his weird Brit humor who makes this garbage almost bearable (almost). Long live the Correcting Cat (no pun intended).

Worked well for my class

THE AUTHOR IS TRYING TO MAKE STATISTIC NOT BORING
Huang Yin –
cheap and good. Only the cover has some wrinkles.
Rachael –
It’s a stats book. Not super interesting, but the author tries to make it different and adds jokes. Required for one of my classes and it does have good info in it.
Abby Lise –
I hate stats class but this book saved my life
TUTUBÁ –
All ok
Olivier Boucher –
This textbook rocks. It’s all I need: Funny as fruit, easy to learn, and entertaining. If the author reads this, know that the mean person who gave you 2 stars sucks. Thanks for the cat pictures.

Good quality!

I am the biggest fan of Andy’s stats books. I have used chapters from the SPSS one to teach advanced undergraduate stats, every one of my master’s and doctoral students are required to buy this (or the R version) for their work in my lab and on independent research, and I regularly recommend it to colleagues. The writing is clear and engaging, funny and relatable, informative and understandable. In 15 years of teaching and conducting research, I have not come across a better statistics book.
Ella –
It’s statistics! Unless your professor requires this book, I don’t see why buying it — maybe you have a thing for stats!
Regardless my like/dislike for stats, the book is thick (over 700 pages), the writing is small, but entertaining. It has some concepts that are better explained than others. It has a website to accompany the book so that’s helpful.
You get a lot of info in this book for the money you pay.
Rachel –
Good book! For learning statistics, required textbook for doctoral student in education in some school. But the book makes really fun and enjoyable for learning non-statistic major doctoral student. Need read it with author’s lectures and school’s lectures same time do a lot of practices in SPSS. This way would help to understand author’s chapters. Again, this book, author and my statistic professor made me love statistics. I own digital and book.

This is such a great book! I had to but it for class and this is the first time I actually enjoyed reading a mandatory text. Andy is hilarious, wildly entertaining and a great storyteller. He was able to make a dull frustrating subject like math come alive and actually make sense. I got a B in my class and I would have 100% gotten a D or F if I would have read a “normal” boring textbook.

I’m a PhD student in a quantitative program as you may know, most stats books are BORING and lifeless. This one is for us who still have a soul. I get the negative reviews asking for a dry tome that uses serious examples. But most of my program is dry and serious enough so a breath of fresh air is needed…this book is it.

Have not seen any torn pages so that’s a good sign.
victoria thompson –
Nothing wrong with the book. Quirky and accessible style of writing, makes it fun to read. I just did my homework without cracking the book much. I’ll probably sell on the used market.

I once was a PhD student terrified of statistics, probably because I got a solid D in the subject (twice) 30 some years ago in community college. Turns out that since those days we stopped doing long statistics problems on chalkboards and started just plugging numbers into computers. It has become so easy it is almost dangerous because you can forget what and why you are doing something (a lot of research is not replicable it turns out for exactly this reason, and more nefarious ones). Anyway, couple things I’ve learned while getting this Ill advised degree 1. PhD students are emotional and psychological wrecks and 2. Stats is easy once you figure out that all the procedures are named after dead people and do not describe what the procedure does – which is a stupid way of naming stuff from an Aristotelian viewpoint (see what I did there). Anyway, Andy’s book reads much like my review – a lot of really entertaining background that may not be transparently relevant but it certainly softens the blow. It’s a good read, I’ve read it twice, and it gives you the confidence you need to go into more detailed (boring, stuffy, concise, scientific) stats books if you have to, which you generally never have to. It’s a good lesson for academics – you can write intelligent thoughts that people would want to read, and are accessible, if only journal editors would let you. Which they won’t…my future probably has a lot of Uber driving in it.
If you are afraid of stats this book makes you unafraid. Plus, Andy is a metal head so you can get back into Iron Maiden – and I ended up downloading some of those old albums on I-tunes (I still buy music) thanks to this book, which I regret.

I can use it to build muscles, but instead I get statistical knowledge with a big effect size. Got it for a class and will keep it! Funny and packed examples that make specific statistical accessible.
AA Diamond –
Author’s genius showed out for this book! Love how he used his own style of teaching stats. Loved it!!!

As a PhD scientist (non-experimentalist) who uses more of the behaviorally-oriented statistical tools, I find this welcome relief. I want easy access to comparing methods and comfort in knowing that the statistics I use makes sense. Field has managed to address applicability and “traps” in using statistics. I want to be able to use methods wisely and he keeps me there (I think). His writing style is engaging and amusing and keeps my attention. While I am not averse to theoretical explanations, I can always look them up when I want more understanding of the underlying prionciples, but now I would rather have something that helps me choose approaches that fit the problem I have. His peripheral comments are mostly very germane to the method and go far in helping you understand the pros and cons of a method.
I started first from using the Excel data analysis options, but you really need to know than how to use it. I want to make sure the method is applicable and Field puts methods in a good context. I still can talk to a statistics expert, but it’s good to have some of those points covered.
A fun purchase and I’m really enjoying cleaning up some ideas in statistics. I can recommend this most people with college level awareness and decent math skills. Thank you Andy for helping me up m game!
