  This is the second edition of this undergraduate textbook. It is shorter than its predecessors, but now contains a thorough treatment of computational methods. Assuming no more than a good GCSE pass grade, the author covers the range of statistical techniques used by geographers, from simple descriptive techniques to parametric and non-parametric methods in bivariate and multivariate settings. Each technique is introduced manually, followed up by the appropriate application, using either the SPSS or MINITAB software packages - the two statistical packages most widely used by geographers.
