This text is written specifically for introductory social science students, many of whom experience anxiety about statistics. Each statistical concept/technique is illustrated by a recognized cartoon such as "The Far Side," by Gary Larson, "Calvin and Hobbes," by Bill Waterson, and "Bloom County," by Berke Brethed. Humour aside, this textbook contains in-depth coverage of all the requisite statistical concepts. It aims to transform a topic students frequently find boring, paralysing or stressful into an enjoyable learning experience; a technique that Schacht has successfully used for nearly ten years.
