David Howell's practical approach focuses on the context of statistics in behavioral research, with an emphasis on looking before leaping; investigating the data before jumping into a test. This provides you with an understanding of the logic behind the statistics: why and how certain methods are used rather than just doing techniques by rote. Learn faster and understand more because Howell's texts moves you beyond number crunching, allowing you to discover the meaning of statistical results and how they relate to the research questions being asked.

Fundamental Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences by David C. Howell Review
I ordered this on the 19th from Book Holders and it arrived just this morning in the mail. I need the book for a stats course I'm taking for my fall quarter and I didn't want to dish out near $200 to buy it from the campus bookstore. I was happy to find this book available here on Amazon (and nearly $90 cheaper in price) and I'm very pleased that it arrived so quickly. (I haven't even gone to my first stats class yet!) The quality of the item is great; you can hardly tell it was a used book. Highly recommend buying from the seller and will definitely be shopping on Amazon again.
