Second Edition of best-selling intro text now available

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore and Washington DC (June 16, 2009) —Countless nervous introductory statistics students—and the professors who teach them—have relied on the books in Neil Salkind’s bestselling Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics series.

>  In the just-published Second Edition of the Excel version, Salkind focuses on the use of the popular software as the primary analytic tool and walks readers through various statistical procedures. His personable and clear approach for social and behavioral sciences students helps them become savvy consumers of statistics, if not necessarily statisticians. Some highlights of the Second Edition include:

• All Excel material based on Excel 2007, including all screen grabs
• More examples throughout the text and more end of chapter exercises
• Formulas and functions covered in more detail

“Neil Salkind continues his service to thousands of grateful beginning statistics students around the globe,” said Helen Salmon, Director of Books Marketing. “With this edition, students now have the accessible, up-to-date Excel 2007 content they need to succeed in their courses. The price is perfect for students’ wallets too — 30% less than another popular text in use.”
