I found the book too technical and complicated for my students. The book is very good, but since it is both in English and very high standard my students will have too many difficulties understanding the essence of it. — Dr Peter Marks ― drupal Published On: 2011-06-20

Nice chapters, I may ask for permission to use a few chapters in a reader, however…
\
– I do not like the statistical data analysis chapters (I am using proper statistics books for that)
\
problem is that the book is too broad for the context in which I have to use the text. — Mr Henk Van Der Kolk ― drupal Published On: 2013-07-12

Excellent book on quantitative data- added to the reading list — Mr Nick White ― drupal Published On: 2019-12-06
