1. Basic Statistics for Behavioral Science, by Gary
W. Heiman, Hardcover, Houghton Mifflin
Each statistical procedure in this text is presented in
a conceptual, intuitive manner to illustrate how it
fills a need in the process. Students anxious about math
will benefit from a scaled back emphasis on the
discipline, plain language, and a step-by-step approach
that reintroduces, reviews, and reinforces procedures.
In addition, references to psychology have been reduced
to make the text more inclusive of all behavioral
sciences. The text has been revised to streamline the
narrative without reducing content, make presentations
more concise, and add more explanatory techniques.
Nearly all examples include specific variables and
questions rather than generic data, and most are taken
from everyday life so that students gain an intuitive
feel for the meaning of scores and develop an ability to
think in statistical terms. Key terms are bold within
the text, reviewed in the chapter summary, and listed in
a new section at the end of the text. Reference tables
provide guidelines for selecting from the descriptive
and inferential procedures discussed in the text based
on the type of data or research design employed..
2. Computer Science : An Overview (8th Edition) by J.
Glenn Brookshear, Paperback, Publisher: Addison Wesley
Now in its eighth edition, this book continues to
provide a comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date
introduction to the dynamic field of computer science
using a breadth-first approach. The table of contents
and the text itself have been revised and expanded to
reflect changes in the field, including the trend toward
using Web and Internet Technology, the evolution of
Objects, and the important growth in the field of
databases. Specifically, chapter three from the previous
edition has been expanded into two chapters. Chapter
three will now only cover Operating Systems and the new
chapter four will focus on Networks and the Internet.
Anyone interested in gaining a thorough introduction to
Computer Science.
