Review
I think this is a really good starting point for teaching stats – from assuming students knows nothing about and taking them gradually to a more advanced understanding. The book is – very helpfully- full of interesting examples and engaging style of writing. I like it that the book has several ‘levels of difficulty’ and engages both with practical stats and theory. The book I believe is targeted at UG students mainly, but some chapters can be recommended to MA students on research methods courses provided that they know nothing about statistics – the book is written in a very accessible manner which means that it can satisfy the need of international students in terms of level of difficulty and language (and business programmes normally have a lot of international students at MA level). The explanations are logically organized and explained in a lucid and clear manner. Little features like ‘faces’ I believe would make the book more attractive to UG students. I think self-test questions and the tasks at the end of chapter are very helpful, as well as the real world data and (often humorous) examples. My course is MA so I am not adopting this book for a course as a main text, but I may recommend it to students who are completely unfamiliar with statistics. Author: Maria KarepovaAndy Field has done it again. The fourth edition of Discovering Statistics will transform students who approach statistics with fear and loathing into adroit statistics users who understand key statistical concepts. Field’s book is a practical ‘how to’ guide for conducting and understanding basic and advanced statistical analyses using IBM SPSS Statistics. The book is geared toward behavioural and social sciences researchers at all levels – from undergraduates taking their very first statistics course, to postgraduates.

This is the first book review I have ever given, largely because I don't usually have the time to write a thoughtful review that I think would benefit readers. This book, however, warranted taking the time to try. I practice applied statistics and teach introductory and advanced statistics classes at a university, and I can say hands down this is the best text I have ever used for introductory to intermediate topics. It is the book I would have loved to write if I were smarter and wanted no life for several years -- I thank Andy Field for doing that for us instead. This single work could replace a dozen other quality statistics books I have because of its comprehensiveness. It is almost an anthology of statistics, but you should not let the size of the book scare you off; it is easy to read and even enjoyable. Examples have been carefully compiled and will certainly keep your interest. Even students who say they have found some examples to be a bit crass have also remarked that they don't forget the examples because they are certainly novel.I have to strongly disagree with the few reviews stating the book is a how-to for SPSS. This is absolutely not a point and click guide. I am a firm believer that students need to know the fundamental mathematics behind statistical tests, or serious mistakes will occur, including violations of assumptions and use of the wrong tests entirely. I have seen it as a journal reviewer, and as an instructor. Field covers basic to advanced analyses with great foundational detail, but he does it in a way that does not leave readers feeling overwhelmed by the math (though it is all there). He occasionally leaves the complicated math to his additional web material, but you will find 99% of what you and/or your students need to know in the text.Even though I have been in the field for many years, I keep his book on my desk to double check procedures. I firmly believe that students and/or faculty could use this book as their single reference to walk them through their own dissertation and peer-reviewed journal quality research on almost all of the topics covered. The only statistic where that is not true in my opinion is the chapter on multilevel models. However, as people in the field know, that topic is incredibly complicated and esoteric. You will not be an expert in multilevel models from that chapter, but you will have an excellent foundation for understanding them, and even the best complete texts on the topic do not do as good of a job as this book at introducing the concepts.Whether you're scared of statistics or use them nearly every day, get this book. It is a remarkable resource!
With considerable pain, I give Andy Field's marvelous, somewhat spectacular book, a 4 star rating. I bought it in Kindle, then in paper. Kindle absolutely lacks the technology to offer the book. I would rate the overall Kindle experience for this book around 2 stars. I will explain in a bit. On the other hand, for content, style, and all that makes for a great book, the paper version has it all hands down. I am a Ph.D. and an author. Never have I seen such an intelligent, witty book on statistics or for that matter on any technical subject. Field has helped me to understand statistics and their use in research in a way I never thought was possible. The paper version is 5+ stars. But books are more than just words in print. They are also a format in and of themselves, which brings me back to Kindle. I have around 200 purchases on Kindle, this is my first technical one. It is not possible to expand the graphs and charts, which are essentially unreadable (nearly microscopic) on the Kindle and are essential in understanding the subject matter. The paper version uses multiple columns and color coding to add to its readability. These are lost on Kindle Touch. Additionally, it is not at all easy to get back to your original location when you opt to tap a reference or go to a figure. You actually have to write down your original location number and "go to" the "got to" menu and type in the number "to get back." For me the Kindle works fine for a linear read, start at the beginning and go straight to the end...and I love it...but not a book that by its nature requires mobility. Now Andy, author to author, sit down with the Kindle and try to read your own book. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby. :)
In chapter 2 the guy talks about his private parts to set up the stats for the chapter. Nice. The book is a constant bombardment on anyone with some morality, and honestly I would rather fail this class than continue to read this book. It is a shame that people would help pay royalties to this author's crass writing. This book is not nice, and if you leave it laying around and your kid picks it up and starts reading you will have a lot of questions to answer! :-) Anatomical parts of the author Chapter 2, Coke and male ejaculate Chapter 1 (he comes back to that one a lot - I think he really likes that one), lots of references to hell as a place and an expletive, anatomical implants, how alcoholics can drink more alcohol so they won't make fish faces quickly, suicide and depression and how likely it is for a certain age to throw themselves off a cliff, and this is all just the first 1.25 chapters. His ability to draw from the darkest corners of humanity seem boundless, as is his tact (bound-less). Anyway, the guy is a child psych person by profession, but maybe he is trying to generate more business by publishing books like this? I hope I get my money back - fingers crossed!
I am NOT a math person by any means. I despise it most of the time (to the point of tears). However, this book has given me a connection and a new appreciation for math (in statistics form, anyway). The book is easily navigated and exceptionally written. It teaches you how to use SPSS in a fun, exciting, and witty way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who may need it to learn how to use SPSS. I had to have it for my grad school class, and I honestly fell in love with this book a bit. It's wonderful. Again, coming from a nonmath person. It made me laugh while teaching me what I needed to know. Please buy this over other books.
