Statistical and Data Handling Skills in Biology puts statistics into context to show biology students the relevance of statistical analysis. It covers all the statistical tests a biology student would need throughout their study; demonstrates their uses and rationale; and describes how to perform them using both a calculator and the SPSS computer package.

All of this is done in the context of biological examples so students can understand why they need statistics and how to get the most out of them throughout the course of their study. It also covers experimental design and shows students how to present their statistical data. 

The author has developed an innovative decision chart for statistical tests which directs students to the tests they need to perform depending on the analysis they are working on.
