Intermediate Social Statistics expertly guides students through a broad range of statistical methods, starting with an overview of fundamental concepts such as basic descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, before moving on to more advanced techniques, including two- and three-way crosstabulations, multiple regression and logistic regression, path analysis, and more. Taking a conceptual approach, the text emphasizes teaching students why we use particular statistics, what statistics can tell us, how statistics could mislead us, and what to do to prevent being misled or misleading others. This approach allows students to learn not only how to apply statistical techniques but also, importantly, the rationale behind the various methods and formulas they'll use in social statistics. Offering a rich variety of illustrative examples and graphics, helpful review exercises, and easy-to-follow instruction, Intermediate Social Statistics helps students master concepts and sharpen their practical skills, allowing them to navigate the world of statistics with confidence.

Physicians who care for patients with life-threatening illnesses face daunting communication challenges. Patients and family members can react to difficult news with sadness, distress, anger, or denial. This book defines the specific communication tasks involved in talking with patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Topics include delivering bad news, transition to palliative care, discussing goals of advance-care planning and do-not-resuscitate orders, existential and spiritual issues, family conferences, medical futility, and other conflicts at the end of life. Drs. Anthony Back, Robert Arnold, and James Tulsky bring together empirical research as well as their own experience to provide a roadmap through difficult conversations about life-threatening issues. The book offers both a theoretical framework and practical conversational tools that the practicing physician and clinician can use to improve communication skills, increase satisfaction, and protect themselves from burnout.
