Customer Reviews

A book that has stuck with me

I used the first edition of Williams' Reasoning with Statistics in the late 70s when I was studying city and regional planning. I had an ambivalent to negative view of statistics (late registration had put me in the class.) But I came to enjoy both the subject and the book, and it led me to further statistical classes. I remember the title decades later. Its strength lies in showing how to use statistics meaningfully in the analysis of real world problems and it is designed to allow non mathemeticians to feel comfortable using statistical methods. It achieves its goal.

Excellent condition

The book arrived in great shape in just a few days, which is amazing for a shipment to Hawaii.
