Business Statistics narrows the gap between theory and practice by focusing on relevant statistical methods, thus empowering business students to make good, data-driven decisions.

Using the latest GAISE (Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education) report, which included extensive revisions to reflect both the evolution of technology and new wisdom on statistics education, this edition brings a modern edge to teaching business statistics. This includes a focus on the report’s key recommendations: teaching statistical thinking, focusing on conceptual understanding, integrating real data with a context and a purpose, fostering active learning, using technology to explore concepts and analyse data, and using assessments to improve and evaluate student learning. By presenting statistics in the context of real-world businesses and by emphasising analysis and understanding over computation, this book helps students be more analytical, prepares them to make better business decisions, and shows them how to effectively communicate results.

Living with the Dutch is about a woman who travels to Europe as an expat and rediscovers the meaning of life, love and happiness.

Before moving to The Hague, Norean had it all - one career, one dog, two kids, and two sets of in-laws - who could ask for more?! After she decides to leave her job and follow her husband to Europe, she gains a new perspective on life. The Netherlands turns out to be just the right environment for her journey.

This book is a touching and humorous account of a family learning to tackle expatriate problems as they learned to understand and love a new country, its people, and its culture. You will laugh and cry as she wittingly relates her observations of the Dutch and muses about her attempt to balance her roles of wife, mother and mentor.

This book is a must read for any American preparing to live abroad who wants to take full advantage of the experience!
