This is a wonderfully written book that makes quantitative research appear manageable for many who struggle with it.
The book is extremely useful and practical to teachers and students from undergraduate level to postgraduate level. In particular, the book contains examples and figures (screen capture of SPSS windows) to show the steps using SPSS in a step-by-step manner. Second, there are 'misconception' corner, summary and chapter-end exercise. Those parts enable learners consolidate their understanding in an effective way. The book may be further enhanced by adding 'Using SPSS graphs to display the results', 'an APA result section' and 'alternative analyses'. Those suggested parts may provide readers with the ways to write academic reports/papers according to the SPSS results further.
