Great book, easy to follow
Great textbook! Very easy to follow. Information is given in just the right quantity, not too repetitive to the point where it gets boring, but repetitive enough to help you remember. I have to admit that I enjoy the exercises in this book so much that I've actually worked ahead a few weeks in my data analysis class. Exercises are also very interesting and explore neat relationships.

Excellent introduction to quantitative analysis
This book takes us step by step through many useful guided examples and makes sure to stop and briefly explain concepts along the way. The topics and instructions are helpful for getting comfortable using SPSS (and many of the most commonly employed statistical tests are included in the chapters). By the end of this book, you feel confident enough to strike out and perform your own quantitative analyses. The conversational tone makes it much easier to grasp the concepts. SPSS is a good introduction to quantitative analysis, and this companion is an excellent introduction to SPSS.

SPSS Companion ( allorasedai )
This is an excellent walk-through of how to use all the basic features of SPSS, with good explanations about what the outputs mean. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a beginning and basic knowledge of how to use SPSS.

 good introduction to scholary research
this is a good book for those who want to understand what it takes to write a good scholary work. the underpinings of statistics and how they are used. the only weakness is that there are times when even the most advanced student needs an teacher, why i give a four in stead of five stars. but it is still a wonderful resourced for all.
