CHOICE Review

Salkind (emer., psychology and research in education, Univ. of Kansas) presents the sixth edition of his introductory textbook (CH, Oct'00, 38-0999). In the updated work, data mining is now included as is treatment of partial correlation, effect size, and analyses of SPSS (a software tool) output. More exercises with solutions are included, and references to supplemental electronic resources are now available. The goal is to present statistics at a "first course in college" level. It is not (the title might mislead) a popular culture book (i.e., a quick-fix means of learning statistics without effort). Examples and exercises from education and psychology dominate. Efforts to connect with users sell the book. The author expresses ideas cogently and uses clever expressions and cartoons to make points. Textual presentation is organized to teach: each chapter includes a humorous title, a chapter difficulty rating, brief (and not overwhelming) outlines of learning objectives, bold type for key terms, "to the point" graphics, exercises (not discouragingly endless in number), various marginal icons to identify videos (of statistical procedures, problem starts, and chapter summaries), websites (real world applications), journal articles, supplemental remarks, technical ideas, procedures, and key summaries. This is a great update to a work that has been popular with its intended audience. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals. --William R. Lee, Minnesota State University, Mankato
