520    "This book was designed to address the need for a 
       comprehensive collection of classroom-tested activities 
       that would engage students, teach correct principles, and 
       inspire instructors. Each chapter describes one or more 
       activities that are pedagogically sound, practical, easily
       implemented, and effective in helping students learn core 
       topics in statistics and research methods in psychology 
       and, more broadly, the social sciences. The primary 
       audiences for this book are college instructors who teach 
       undergraduate introductory courses in statistics and 
       research methods (and introductory psychology) and high 
       school AP Psychology teachers. Novice instructors, 
       including graduate students, can use this book as a guided
       set of activities to launch in their classroom from the 
       start, and veteran instructors can use these activities to
       replace or supplement existing teaching activities. The 
       chapter authors represent a diverse group of experts in 
       their respective fields. We have deliberately selected 
       individuals who have distinguished teaching and/or 
       publication records and who are representative of the 
       audience for whom the book is written. Many of the authors
       have won local or national teaching awards, and some have 
       authored textbooks in the areas of statistics and research
       methodology. As a whole, the group is demographically, 
       geographically, and institutionally diverse"--Publicity
