He has written several widely used statistics textbooks including Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics (winner of the 2007 British Psychological Society book award), Discovering Statistics Using R, and An Adventure in Statistics (shortlisted for the British Psychological Society book award, 2017 British Book Design and Production Awards, primary, secondary and tertiary education category, 2016 and the Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers Award for innovation in publishing, 2016), which teaches statistics through a fictional narrative and uses graphic novel elements. He is internationally known as a statistics educator. His current research interests focus on barriers to learning mathematics and statistics. He has published widely (100+ research papers, 29 book chapters, and 17 books in various editions) in the areas of child anxiety and psychological methods and statistics. 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.Īndy Field is Professor of Quantitative Methods at the University of Sussex. 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. Little features like ‘faces’ I believe would make the book more attractive to UG students. The explanations are logically organized and explained in a lucid and clear manner. 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). I like it that the book has several ‘levels of difficulty’ and engages both with practical stats and theory.

The book is – very helpfully- full of interesting examples and engaging style of writing. 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.
