This book presents concepts in a more accessible manner than the other books out there. ... The step-by-step explanations should make it accessible to a wide range of readers, even advanced undergraduates...the inclusion of SPSS syntax...makes the material such that more advanced readers are still interested and engaged...I would consider using this book for a third course in statistics...I would also consider purchasing a copy for my own use. - Allen I. Huffcutt, Bradley University, USA The book provides users with the means to compute power accurately for many situations where no other methods are readily available... The SPSS syntax provides a framework that allows the user to see a range of possible outcomes-information that can help the user gain a better feel for the costs and benefits of various sample sizes...[it] provides methods for dealing with complex data with greater accuracy... appropriate for a short course called statistical power...[or] as a supplement to any multivariate course. - Dale Berger, Claremont Graduate University, USA An important addition to every applied worker's tool chest...This book ... allows the author to make a very important contribution to the science of research methodology...this would be a nice complement to our ANOVA/ANOCOVA course, MANOVA/MANCOVA course. - Shlomo Sawilowsky, Wayne State University, USA This book will meet a significant need in the market.

I would definitely purchase a copy... - Stewart Donaldson, Claremont Graduate School, USA The book will be highly relevant to upper-division undergraduate courses and (particularly) graduate-level courses in psychology and related fields.
