Essentials of Social Statistics for a Diverse Society,Third Edition, is a more streamlined, less expensive version of the successfulSocial Statistics for a Diverse Society. As in the parent text, theEssentials version does more thanintroduce students to the statistical techniques used by social scientists.

With a wide range of examples and exercises taken from current events and published research, frequent illustrations, and a focus on student learning, this book continues to be an accessible and engaging resource for students.

"I think this textbook is incredibly readable. It presents statistics in a manner that is easy to grasp and comprehend but is still rigorous in terms of the content covered."
