Telling statistical stories: how to present your findings and conclusions Review "This book provides a great introduction for students who want to undertake quantitative or mixed-methods research for their dissertation. Many are not well versed in mathematics and statistics, and this book provides a gentle introduction. Chapters 9 and 10 are especially helpful, as they cover how to present numerical information and analysis, which some other textbooks do not do as well."
