4 stars (Book Is Great!!) - This book came fast and in awesome condition. It has helped a lot with class and I'm glad that I bought this item! 5 stars (Elementary Statistics) - Elementary Statistics with StatDisk is a very well laid out text making the introduction to new concepts easy. The text assists with Excel, TI-83 family of caluculators and gives comprehensive tips for using StatDisk. Z tables are included with the text on heavy paper stock. 4 stars (Good start in STATS) - I used the 8th edition in my intro STATS class a year ago and I loved the book. I found that he talks about the meaning of stuff and not just gives quick excel fixes like a lot of intro STAT books. He does go over how to do the problem on the TI-83 but he still goes over the formulas and how you can do with out. In my last intro stats book my department had it talked too much about excel and the calculator making students forget that this is math and not just plug in the number ...

4 stars (Expansion value for kids) - Firstly, I have already reviewed Rise of Nations; it is excellent and the expansion pack makes it better. If you don't have either RON, or if $$ doesn't matter then go for Gold and get the best. However, my situation is that I bought the expansion pack as an 'extra' for my children (who love RoN) and for them this expansion pack was NOT good value. Other expansion packs we have bought (notably age of empires and age of empires II) have added to the game play in significant 'game changing' ways. The RoN expansion does have new nations and new unique units; as one reviewer says if you are a 'thinking man' these new subtleties are an interesting nut to crack. But if you are a 'thinking child' the differences are too subtle (or complex) to fully grasp. The senate is comprehensible; the distinctions between the different generals really isn't. The biggest disapointment was the campaigns. In age of kings each new campaign had introduced my children to a piece of history with which they became fascinated. RoN does have a good campaign system which I raved about before. However the expansion pack is really just the same thing with the countries relabeled. There are a couple of new tweaks but nothing in the campaigns themselves to render them as immersive as the AOK versions. All in all, the expansion pack makes a brilliant game better. But viewed as an expense almost equivalent to a new game, I cannot recommend this UNLESS you have a deep and thorough grasp of the underlying subtleties of the original version. 4 stars (Great game, the six campaigns need some work) - Ive played this game a lot over time and have found it to be a very fun game. Good battle graphics and realistic aspects to running your nation. However, the 6 newer campaigns have limited scenarios and are too simple. The normal campaign doesn't have enough regions to conquer. Despite these downsides, the campaign is still loads of fun, especially the new world and cold ...

4 stars (Good book but a few suggestions!) - This book is written by an expert in Statistics and most explanations are written in easy enough language for the introductory student (like me!), although I have to confess to struggling to understand some of the concepts sometimes. If you are as 'rusty' a student as me, I strongly recommend another little inexpensive paperback book as an additional aid to this one: Teach Yourself Statistics. I was also surprised that in the beginning of the book, in Chapter 2 on graphing, that the technical tips section at the end of the chapter referred you to a supplemental manual you'd have to purchase. At this price, I was especially surprised since the book is promoted as having the technology info for Excel & TI-83 included (and if graphing isn't one of the most basic concepts to learn in Introduction to Statistics, what is?). If there was no way to include the actual information in the technical tips sections- my suggestion to the author is to consider having the manual included as a 'package'. 5 stars (The Greatest !) - If you ever wanted a Stats book that was EASY to understand buy this one! I did very well in this course and I honestly learned with this book. Explanations are wonderful! The disk makes life simple. 5 stars (very good intro stats book) - I think this is a great textbook. I have been reviewing texts for an AP statistics course and have settled on this book as a middle ground between very basic texts and rigorous textbooks for math majors. It is not intended for math majors. I don't understand why reviewers are criticizing it for it not being more rigorous. It has enough depth for intro undergrad stats, yet is adaptable to lower levels so some of the boneheads I have in high school can comprehend. Excellent explanations. Very readable. Decent problem sets. I approve. ...
