SERIES: Included in the Prentice-Hall International Series in Management. EXCERPT: Preface - This is a short preface, because most of what is usually said in the preface is in the first chapter--things like what goals the book has, what methods are used, and a preview of each of the fifteen chapters. I predict that students will actually enjoy studying statistics from this book. I've taught courses like this for years and listened to the questions and complaints from students, so when I decided to write this book, may aim was to remove all the anxiety usually connected with the subject. I've tried to explain concepts will enough so that students could lean on the book instead of the teacher. It was fun writing this book. Most of my explanations are kind of long-winded, but I've always felt that it's hard to overexplain statistics. And I will admit that I do use a large number of illustrations to make a point; but then statistical methods aren't quite as easy to learn as some other things. So if you'll bear with my many illustrations and my excessive explanations, I think you'll like what we can do together. When an author makes an effort to simplify otherwise confounding concepts, it's tempting to do what teachers often call "black boxing"; that is, simply to say "it can be shown" whenever you come to a hard spot in the material. Another ploy authors often use is to "cheat" statistically a little and leave out some of the hard-to-explain statistical frills. I have tried faithfully to avoid either of these two traps. Instead, I have gone as far as I think it is possible to go with intuitive explanations and followed the practice of not including concepts that can't be intuitively explained and understood. I think you will find all the material in this book statistically and mathematically sound--overexplained, I will admit, but always on sound statistical grounds. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Shop-Beschreibung

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.
