Straightforward Statistics by Chieh-Chen Bowen is written in plain language and connects material in a clear, logical manner to help students across the social and behavioral sciences develop a "big picture" understanding of foundational statistics. Each new chapter is purposefully connected with the previous chapter for a gradual accrual of knowledge from simple to more complex concepts--this effective, cumulative approach to statistics through logical transitions eases students into statistics and prepares them for success in more advanced quantitative coursework and their own research.
