Customer Reviews:
 An excellent presentation from a statistical perspective October 13, 2007
My copy of the CD did not explode (as it did for a previous reviewer), but I found this book very educational based purely on the statistical rather than on stories about sociology itself. This is a GREAT book for instructors to use for night classes in undergraduate studies where there isn't a lot of time for lecture, because this book, thru it's compelling examples, gives the students all the information they will ever need on how statistics tell the truth (and lie) about the state of the world and the people living in it.
 Absolutely wonderful until it explodes! January 21, 2005

This workbook is completely interactive. Students who have never before been exposed to statistics can get a real sense of what stats are and how they are used. If you are looking for a way to get students "ready" to deal with statistical math concepts, or to take the social sciences seriously, this could be it. Things to watch out for: some editing problems that make a few (only in one chapter) of the workbook questions unusable. Also, the CD I had was produced in such a manner that after repeated use it "fragmented" --that is, exploded inside my CD drive into about a zillion pieces. Dust. It was great before it exploded.
