SAGE 800.818.7243 or 805.499.9774 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. pt fax: 805.375.5291 16 TEXTBOOKS & HANDBOOKS THERE'S A STAT FOR THAT!: What to Do & When to Do it Bruce B. Frey, The University of Kansas Bruce B. Frey's There's a Stat for That! is a brief, straightforward, and accessible guide to deciding when and how to use the correct statistical technique. Designed for consultants, researchers, students, and those who already have the resources to help them actually do the statistics, this text explains why a particular statistical approach is the right one to use.

UPDATED EDITION OF BEST SELLER THE TAO OF STATISTICS: A Path to Understanding (With No Math) SECOND EDITION Dana K. Keller, Halcyon Research, Inc. This Second Edition provides a reader-friendly approach to statistics in plain English. Unlike other statistics books, this text explains what statistics mean and how they are used, rather than how to calculate them. The book walks readers through basic concepts as well as some of the most complex statistical models in use. CONTENTS 1. The Beginning - The Question / 2. Ambiguity - Statistics / 3.
