Agresti and Finlay are, above all, clear and accurate. Over the last decade, I've looked at several dozen alternatives, hoping to find one that's strong in the areas where this text is weak. I've been enticed by different layouts, writing styles, even overall motifs, but am always reminded of why ...

It includes most of the important topics generally covered in a two-semester introductory statistics sequence. These authors skillfully use graphs, practical examples, and a diversity of exercises relevant to the social sciences students' experience to illustrate the concepts studied.
