New Technology in Sociology: Practical Applications in Research and Work
(When technology has been applied in business environments...)
When technology has been applied in business environments, its justification has usually been cast in terms of saving time or saving money. In the social sciences, the justification must be different; the viability of sociology as a profession, for example, will not be enhanced by cost reductions. The focus in this volume is on a different bottom line: the quality and content of work.

Desktop Data Analysis With Systat
(Co-authored by the developer of SYSTAT, Leland Wilkinson,...)
Co-authored by the developer of SYSTAT, Leland Wilkinson, Desktop Data Analysis with SYSTAT is useful to everyone from students with no more than a single statistics course to experienced researchers who need to know how to run SYSTAT to solve substantive problems. Desktop Data Analysis with SYSTAT offers a thorough introduction to using good statistical tools, both exploratory and confirmatory, to solve real statistical problems. Real data examples are used everywhere to motivate and prepare the reader for answering statistical questions in a research, business, or educational environment. Datasets are drawn from areas as diverse as anthropology, agriculture, criminal justice, economics, marketing, sociology, medicine, psychology, and ecology. A highlight of the book is its extensive use of graphics and unique tutorial on constructing statistical graphs. Desktop Data Analysis with SYSTAT may be used with SYSTAT 6.0 or other comprehensive statistics packages.
