	Pallant, J. (2013). SPSS survival manual (5th ed.). London: Open University Press. As the title implies, this book is a must for those who need to survive their university statistics courses. Although it's primarily designed for psychology students, the step-by-step descriptions of how to analyze data are extremely easy to understand.
	Stevens, J. P. (2009). Applied multivariate statistics for the social sciences (5th ed.). Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum. A new edition of this classic guide to MANOVA, with a special focus on power statistics and new sections on HLM (Hierarchical Linear Modeling) and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling).
	Tabachnick, B. G., & Fidell, L. S. (2007). Using Multivariate Statistics (5th ed.). Boston: Allyn and Bacon. The "Bible" of statistics, this book is often extremely difficult to understand. However, it is almost indispensable as a research resource book in your library.
