An invaluable work for people who need to understand statistics and utilize their results. The book is not technical; its purpose is to teach the reader how to understand and apply statistics. Most of the examples are from education, but people in all fields using statistics will find this book indispensable. Written with great clarity, this is a first-rate statistics book for the non-statistician.

A good book to provide examples of how to interpret results of statistical analysis. Doesn't tell you how to do the calculations, which is not the goal of the book anyway.
I use the his book as a reference on how to write up interpretation of the results

Love this. Provides a narrative description or statistical concepts and methods. Very useful for someone who needs to understand the why before the how.
