Carver and Nash, professors of business administration and psychology, respectively, at Stonehill College, introduce SPSS Version 12 in this text/CD-ROM package designed to be used as a supplement to an introductory statistics course. Each chapter addresses a statistical issue or need rather than a particular command or menu in the software, and includes real data sets from a variety of disciplines. In addition to lab exercises on the computer, there are also thought questions and exercises in statistical reasoning. The CD-ROM contains data files to illustrate specific statistical concepts and techniques.
