Rebecca M. Warner's bestselling Applied Statistics: From Bivariate Through Multivariate Techniques has been split into two volumes for ease of use over a two-course sequence. Applied Statistics I: Basic Bivariate Techniques, Third Editionis an introductory statistics text based on chapters from the first half of the original book.
The author's contemporary approach reflects current thinking in the field, with its coverage of the "new statistics" and reproducibility in research. Her in-depth presentation of introductory statistics follows a consistent chapter format, includes some simple hand-calculations along with detailed instructions for SPSS, and helps students understand statistics in the context of real-world research through interesting examples. Datasets are provided on an accompanying website.
Definitely not a book for beginners. I often felt like I was reading gibberish, BUT in conjunction with YouTube videos, etc. it did help me learn and will be easier to reference moving forward.
