About the Author

Neil J. Salkind received his PhD in human development from the University of Maryland, and after teaching for 35 years at the University of Kansas, he was Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology and Research in Education, where he collaborated with colleagues and work with students. His early interests were in the area of children’s cognitive development, and after research in the areas of cognitive style and (what was then known as) hyperactivity, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina’s Bush Center for Child and Family Policy. His work then changed direction to focus on child and family policy, specifically the impact of alternative forms of public support on various child and family outcomes. He delivered more than 150 professional papers and presentations; written more than 100 trade and textbooks; and is the author of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics (SAGE), Theories of Human Development (SAGE), and Exploring Research (Prentice Hall). He has edited several encyclopedias, including the Encyclopedia of Human Development, the Encyclopedia of Measurement and Statistics, and the Encyclopedia of Research Design. He was editor of Child Development Abstracts and Bibliography for 13 years. He lived in Lawrence, Kansas, where he liked to read, swim with the River City Sharks, work as the proprietor and sole employee of big boy press, bake brownies (see www.statisticsforpeople.com for the recipe), and poke around old Volvos and old houses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually Makes Statistics Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
If you're afraid of that upcoming Statistics course that you have to take to complete your major, get this book. If you're lucky, your professor will make this the required textbook. If not, get the book anyway because it will explain statistics to you in terms that make it easy to understand. At the very least, the Excel functions and explanations will make your homework less tedious and, who knows, you might just surprise yourself with how fast you catch on to the concepts.

The author, Neil Salkind, clearly enjoys his subject and enjoys teaching. His sense of humor is clearly apparent as you read his explanation of some of the reasons we use statistics.

I highly recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars No longer a hated subject
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
The review is worthwhile and succinct. Please note, however, that EXCEL 2011 for MAC no longer hosts the Analysis ToolPak (which this book relies upon in nearly every chapter). There are workarounds, and a Microsoft suggested alternative (StatPlus), but be forewarned. With that said, again, the book covers the subject well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for College
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
I have bought my fair share of books for college.

This was one of the more creative, "open-minded" seeming books that I had.

The way the information was presented was really organized and clever.

I remember really enjoying this book, but sadly had no use for it after the class and it was resold.

I have to admit...I actually like this stupid book and I definitely HATE statistics. Just like most of you, I'm sure, I had to get this for class. I would venture to say that this book has assisted in my *okay* grade in the class. It can be a little silly at times, but that is the whole point. They are trying to keep you engaged while dumbing down one of the toughest concepts for those of us who don't have the mind of a research scientist.
