Recensione:

`Our favourite page is the Figure 2.3: "Deciding which statistical test to use". It's a full-page flow diagram indicating what statistical method should be recommended for which type of research situation...and it's fun' - Bulletin de Me[ac]thodologie Sociologique

`In a marketplace full of books about computer-aided data analysis [the book] stands out as an excellent example of the genre. It is concise, but covers all of the essentials that are needed to use SPSS versions 8 to 10 effectively' - Journal of Biosocial Science
