Synopsis

The Bestselling Student-Friendly Statistics Textbook is Completely Updated and Comes with SPSS-Student Version 17.0!

"Field has introduced important new introductory material on statistics... This book is the best blend that I know of a textbook in statistics and a manual on SPSS."
-David C. Howell, University of Vermont (Emeritus)

Now, for only $25 extra on top of the price of the textbook, students can purchase the bestselling Discovering Statistics Using SPSS, Third Edition as a bundle that includes a copy of SPSS Student Version 17.0.

Written in his vivid and entertaining style, Andy Field continues to provide students with everything they need to understand, use and report statistics-at every level-in the brand-new Third Edition of Discovering Statistics Using SPSS. Retaining the strong pedagogy from previous editions, he makes statistics meaningful by including playful examples from everyday student life (among other places), creating a gateway into the often intimidating world of statistics.
