Statistics in Plain English by Timothy C. Urdan This book is for all students who suffer any sort of statistics-anxiety and yet must take a statistics course in high school or college. Of course, it would also be of value for anyone simply interested in statistics. As college students well know, most statistics texts are typically impossible to make sense of. This book explains quite complex concepts and analyses in ways that professors are often unable to do. The examples are clean and crisp. Difficult material is brought down to earth with prose that is both user-friendly and often humorous. Well worth purchasing. CD added thanks to CUMARTESILERI
Psychiatric Secrets
Psychatric Secrets - are they really "secret"? Perhaps not, because this book shows you a couple of questions you will be asked, f.e.
- on rounds
- in the clinic
- on oral exams
Try to be quicker than they are and be prepared... :)
