Summary: First-class piece of work.
Review: From a reviewer: I teach mathematics/statistics in the Education dept at Liverpool John Moores University, England. I have been asked by the publication 'Teaching Statistics' to review your recent book on Statistics with Excel. I would like to congratulate you on this first class piece of work. I have felt for some time that the profession is too hung up with the usefulness of dedicated stats packages. Too often I believe, statistics departments believe that the costlier the package, then the better it is. Untrue!

Summary: Buy only if you already know statistics
Review: I had hoped this book would explain the statistical techniques themselves before jumping into how to use Excel, which is all it really does. If you already know statistics (which I did not) and don't know Excel (which I did) this will help. If the reverse is true, keep looking.

Summary: Not as good as I hoped it would be.
Review: I read this book, hoping to recommend it to my stat students. The exercises and examples were easy to follow, _but_ there was not enough explanation of the examples that were given. For example, rather than just show how to do an analysis of probability, I wished for more of the "nuts and bolts" of the analysis. I was disappointed. Even though the price of this book is relatively low, I would not recommend this to beginning students of statistics. The front section on using Excel seemed OK, but I didn't pay attention to it, as it was not needed for my classes.
