<em>Statistics for People who (Think They) Hate Statistics</em> really makes students learn and enjoy statistics and research in general. Students especially like the Ten Commandments and Internet Sites. -- Professor Valarie Janesick<br />Salkind's book is in a class by itself. It is easily the best book of its kind that I have come across. I enthusiastically recommended it for anyone interested in the subject and even (and especially) for those who aren't! -- Russ Shafer-Landau<br /><em>Statistics for People who (Think They) Hate Statistics </em>is definitely the right book for people who have to overcome that familiar anxious feeling when opening a standard statistics book and who having finally managed to do so are still not able to make much sense of it all. The book by Salkind is easy and pleasant to read and one that hardly needs any pre-knowledge of the field to be able to follow the author's train of thoughts. Salkind has managed to bring statistics home to people who hate statistics or though they did.<br /> -- Dr Andrea Winkler * Statistical Methods in Medical Research *
