 Absolutely bloody brilliant! August 26, 2000

I've been struggling to get my head around the concepts underlying statistics and always started getting confused when weird equations get thrown in all over the place. This book has transformed in an afternoon my understanding of statistics and the way in which this major influence in large areas of study and life actually works.If you struggle with statistics but need to know and understand the principles of how they work this book will really, really help.
An excellent intro February 3, 2006

If you're not at ease with stats, this is the book for you. It takes you right from the very beginning, covering all the things you'd like to know but felt too self-conscious to ask about. Questions intersperse the text so that you can test yourself and make sure you've understood the material. The style is friendly and engaging without being patronising -you really get the impression that Rowntree genuinely wants you to develop a good understanding and love of statistics. It’s actually an enjoyable read!
Not for those wanting a book covering advanced statistics, but an excellent introduction for anyone intimidated by maths and a good refresher for those who haven't touched on the topic in years.
I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Excellent, non-technical primer - and refresher October 9, 2004

I've now "done" stats as part of two separate undergraduate psychology courses and one post-graduate one. I read this book before I started and I still keep coming back to it.It doesn't replace the texts that tell you how to carry out the calculations and apply them to a specific discipline, but it is excellent for explaining the fundamentals, and for reminding you what it is that you're trying to achieve.

I was relieved to find a book that focused on understanding the concepts of statistics, rather than the maths. The book covers most of the basic tests that are needed for statistical analysis and is a good primer for more advanced topics. No mathematical knowledge is necessary, which is great for a non-mathematician like me! I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Great for students who have little knowledge of statistics. March 17, 2001

I found this little book incredibly helpful for learning about statistics. Compared to other texts, it was very clear and easy to understand. It was a great starter that got me primed to read and understand other, more complicated, texts on statistics
