Statistics: Concepts and Controversies is a book on statistical ideas and statistical reasoning and on their relevance to public policy and to the human sciences from medicine to sociology. Many fundamental graphical and numerical techniques are included in the text to give flesh to the ideas and muscle to the reasoning. Students learn to think about data by working with data, however technique does not dominate concepts. This author’s intention here is to teach verbally rather than algebraically, to invite discussion and even argument rather than mere computation, though some computation remains essential. The coverage is considerably broader than one might traditionally cover in a one-term course, as the table of contents reveals. In the spirit of general education, breadth has been considered over detail.

Now available with Macmillan’s new online learning tool Achieve, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, 10th edition, prepares students for the application of statistics in the real world by using current examples and encouraging exploration into data analysis and interpretation. The text enforces statistical thinking by providing learning objectives and linked exercises to help students master core statistics concepts and think beyond the calculations.

Achieve for Introduction to the Practice of Statistics integrates outcome-based learning objectives and a wealth of examples with assessment in an easy-to-use interface. Students are provided with rich digital resources that solidify conceptual understanding, as well as homework problems with hints, answer-specific feedback, and a fully worked solution.

Now available with Macmillan’s new online learning tool Achieve, the ninth edition of The Basic Practice of Statistics 9e teaches statistical thinking by guiding students through an investigative process of problem-solving with pedagogy designed to help students of all levels. Examples and exercises from a wide variety of topic areas use current, real data to provide students insight into how and why statistics are used to make decisions in the real world.

Achieve for The Basic Practice of Statistics connects the trusted Four-Step problem-solving approach and real-world examples in the book to rich digital resources that foster further understanding and application of statistics. Assets in Achieve support learning before, during, and after class for students, while providing instructors with class performance analytics in an easy-to-use interface.

Now available with Macmillan’s ground-breaking online learning platform Achieve, The Practice of Statistics in the Life Sciences gives biology students an introduction to statistical practice all their own. It covers essential statistical topics with examples and exercises drawn from across the life sciences, including the fields of nursing, public health, and allied health.

Achieve for The Practice of Statistics in the Life Sciences integrates outcome-based learning objectives and a wealth of examples with assessment in an easy-to-use interface. Students are provided with rich digital resources that solidify conceptual understanding, as well as homework problems with hints, answer-specific feedback, and a fully worked solution, designed to teach as they assess.

This book offers historical and state-of-the-art molecular spectroscopy methods and applications in dynamic compression science, aimed at the upcoming generation in physical sciences involved in studies of materials at extremes. It begins with addressing the motivation for probing shock compressed molecular materials with spectroscopy and then reviews historical developments and the basics of the various spectroscopic methods that have been utilized. Introductory chapters are devoted to fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy, overviews of dynamic compression technologies, and diagnostics used to quantify the shock compression state during spectroscopy experiments. Subsequent chapters describe all the molecular spectroscopic methods used in shock compression research to date, including theory, experimental details for application to shocked materials, and difficulties that can be encountered. Each of these chapters also includes a section comparing static compression results. The last chapter offers an outlook for the future, which leads the next-generation readers to tackling persistent problems.
