Salkind (U. of Kansas) presents three volumes containing around 500 alphabetical entries that provide an overview of issues and concepts related to measurement and statistics in the social sciences. The entries range in length from 500 words for simple definitions or biographies (e.g. the arithmetic mean or Charles Babbage) to 4000 words for more detailed treatments of important topics (such as aptitude tests). The headings in the reader's guide give a sense of the scope of the encyclopedia: biographies; charts, graphs, and visual displays; computer topics and tools; concepts and issues in measurement; concepts and issues in statistics; data and data reduction techniques; descriptive statistics; evaluation; experimental methods; inferential statistics; organizations and publications; prediction and estimation; probability; qualitative methods; samples, sampling, and distributions; statistical techniques; statistical tests; and tests by name. Following the entries, three appendixes provide a step-by-step presentation of basic concepts of statistics and measurement, a collection of Internet resources; and a glossary of frequently encountered terms and concepts.
