Review
This book turned my hatred of stats and SPSS into love.
-- Sharmina AugustI love it! It′s the first text I′ve come across that has been written in such a captivating way. There′s humor, tons of information, and awesome resources both within and on the companion website. Kudos to Prof. Field! -- Raymond Grogan Published On: 2018-09-06
I also appreciate how the author made the text interesting to read, but the content is rich enough to provide readers good knowledge on how to draw insights from stats and data. Also, it provides a lot of practical guides for reporting results and findings for research paper. Can′t wait to take a deeper dive into the text
-- Hsing-Chi Hwang ― Harvard University Published On: 2018-10-06
I never thought I would find a statistics textbook amusing but somehow our text pulls it off. I also appreciated the online supplementary tools provided by the publisher. They provide a good synthesis of each of the chapters and some easy options to review
-- Rickelle Mathis ― Harvard University Published On: 2018-09-06I really really love the book, it′s the main reason why I′m not curled up in bed with my cats sobbing in fear at the moment. Speaking of cats, I gotta say the correcting cat/misconception mutt framing is very cute, and it almost broke my heart finding out the origin of that orange spiritual feline. I′m having a blast reading about stats, who would′ve thunk it?
-- Joao Matos Amara Da Silveria Published On: 2018-09-06I am enjoying the book, which I would never have imagined! I am not afraid of statistics anymore.

About the Author
Andy Field is Professor of Quantitative Methods at the University of Sussex. 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. His current research interests focus on barriers to learning mathematics and statistics.
He is internationally known as a statistics educator. 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 has also written the adventr and discovr packages for the statistics software R that teach statistics and R through interactive tutorials.
His uncontrollable enthusiasm for teaching statistics to psychologists has led to teaching awards from the University of Sussex (2001, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019), the British Psychological Society (2006) and a prestigious UK National Teaching fellowship (2010).
He′s done the usual academic things: had grants, been on editorial boards, done lots of admin/service but he finds it tedious trying to remember this stuff. None of them matter anyway because in the unlikely event that you′ve ever heard of him it′ll be as the ′Stats book guy′. In his spare time, he plays the drums very noisily in a heavy metal band, and walks his cocker spaniel, both of which he finds therapeutic.
I’d like to read this book on Kindle

My field is Primary Education, not degree-level maths, not even A-Level maths! Honestly, the most comfortable I feel with maths or stats is teaching children under the age of 11. I took GCSE maths 30 years ago!
I am now undertaking a masters degree that contains a stats module — it terrifies me! I look at words and figures in other stats books without actually absorbing anything.
This book is probably the most well-written book I have ever read. I have read too many psychology and educational books to count, many hundred research papers (reading stats enough to know thresholds without properly understanding them). Andy Field, please continue your work (I read this was the last one?!!!!).
One word of advice: read every word. It is incredibly tempting to skip to a chapter you need to understand for a college course, but you might be carrying a misconception. Also, the beauty of the humour in Andy’s examples means you WILL remember them — they will be more meaningful. You have to read ‘Make it Stick to fully appreciate how important this is.
Yes, it is large but this simply illustrates the size your confidence and skills will increase by the time you have finished it.
Thank you, Andy!
I am so disappointed to not be able to get the supporting material having paid full price, on a student budget.
As for the main product - although i accept the style/tone may not be to everyone's taste - the book is genuinely brilliant.
Thank you, Andy Field.

Ps. I’ll never forget the semen example. Highlight of my uni years? Probably.

The "fairly comprehensive" just reflects that the book is for the advanced undergrad to initial post-grad, IMO.
