Product Description
*This is NOT the edition that comes with the student version of SPSS software. To order that, please order ISBN: 978-1-4129-1793-3.*
Written especially for undergraduate students taking their first course in social statistics, this highly accessible bestselling text has been thoroughly revised and updated with the latest General Social Survey data. This new 4th Edition maintains the same informal, conversational writing style along with the many pedagogical features have led to the previous editions' widespread success. It also introduces new social issues, including more analysis of cultural diversity. The text includes resources designed to support effective teaching: illustrations showing how statistical concepts are used to interpret social issues, guides for reading and interpreting the research literature, SPSS demonstrations, and a rich variety of exercises. In this 4th Edition, the authors have introduced a strong global perspective by using real-life examples from the International Social Survey Programme that help expand the students’ analytical focus beyond the United States.
New to the 4th Edition:
- All new Student Study Site at http://www.pineforge.com/frankfort-nachmiasstudy4 with interactive quizzes and web exercises, e-flashcards, online research activities, links to SAGE journal articles and more!
- Moves the former Chapters 9 and 15 in the Third Edition to the CD, per reviewer suggestions
- Merges the former electronic chapters on ANOVA and extended treatments of regression and correlation into the textbook
- Includes expanded and updated datasets with new ISSP and GSS data
- Covers new social issues, including more on cultural diversity (e.g., same-sex marriages)
- Includes excerpts from journal articles on the website that explore various techniques and illustrate concepts presented in the text
"This book is the best I have seen on the market. It is the only book I have seen that manages to teach both statistics and a great deal of social science."Â -- Tom Linneman College of William and Mary

 Great desk reference! Great text!
I bought this text to refresh my quantitative skills after many years of qualitative research. The book is easy to follow, and teaches statistical methods in a way that focuses on application skills, rather than seeming like a math text. I love that it provides basic commands for methods in SAS and SPSS. Easy and concise enough for undergraduates to follow, but makes a great desk reference for seasoned social scientists.

 social statistic for a diverse society
I am very disappointed. This book I was told has to be bought with a CD for the computer. I was given a choice of a book with and without the CD. I chose the book with the CD and it was not the correct one. There was no description as to what was on the CD. I was being asked to choose a book with a SPSS program on the CD and I gotthe introduction to the book with no choices to down load. You would have better business practices if you required the cd's to be described. I will have to think very carefully before I order my school books from here again.
