This textbook on applied statistics combines two learning objectives - competence in elementary data treatment and an enhanced understanding of key world issues. Using statistics from 140 countries, it covers issues such as population explosion and the inequalities of global income distribution.
Being "problem driven" this textbook on applied statistics goes beyond the presentation of introductory "Quantitative Method". It focuses on issues ranging from population explosion to the inequalities of global income distribution, from depletion trends of non-renewable resources to atmospheric pollution and potential climate change. The book includes national socio-economic and environmental statistics from over 140 countries, building an up-to-date scenario of worldwide population growth, economic development, international trade and energy consumption, global maldistribution of income and absorption of resources, depletion of species and resources, environmental changes and human problems. The author combines two learning objectives - competence in elementary data treatment, and also an enhanced understanding of key world issues. A feature of this text is the availability of a data disk containing additional quantitative information, it includes answers to many statistical tasks in the text and encourages independent statistical research.
