Recensione:

"This book is the best I have seen on the market. It is the only book I have seen that manages to teach both statistics and a great deal of social science. Any student using this book will become wiser in the ways of statistics and more perceptive of many different types of diversity in our society. I have adopted and readopted this text." 

(Tom Linneman)
