SPSS for Social Scientists
This clear, student-friendly text offers a step-by-step introduction to the use of SPSS - easily the most widely used data analysis computer package in the social sciences. Supported by four datasets taken from the well-known British Social Attitudes Survey on the topics crime, health, politics and poverty, it offers an eminently practical approach to its subject, while still setting its explanation of statistical procedures within the wider social research context.

I am no statistics whiz but this book helped me do some good things with SPSS for a research project I had to do. I sat down behind my computer and followed the steps in the book. Lots of advice and clear screanshots. Although the book is for SPSS 9, 10 and 11, I have been using SPPS 14 but this (so far) does not seem to be a problem. Only once (again, so far) did I encounter a problem that I felt the book didn't explain clearly (this had to do with missing values). But, in the end I figured it out. I guess this book is good for anyone trying to use SPSS for social research who needs to learn the basic techniques. Why 4 stars instead of 5? I am hesitant to give high marks, and in this case I don't know enough about SPSS to know if the book is missing crucial information or giving me bad advice.
