This book is aimed directly at students of geography, particularly
those who lack confidence in manipulating numbers. The aim is not
to teach the mathematics behind statistical tests, but to focus on
the logic, so that students can choose the most appropriate tests,
apply them in the most convenient way and make sense of the
results. Introductory chapters explain how to use statistical
methods and then the tests are arranged according to the type of
data that they require. Diagrams are used to guide students toward
the most appropriate tests. The focus is on nonparametric methods
that make very few assumptions and are appropriate for the kinds of
data that many students will collect. Parametric methods, including
Student's t-tests, correlation and regression are also covered.
Although aimed directly at geography students at senior
undergraduate and graduate level, this book provides an accessible
introduction to a wide range of statistical methods and will be of
value to students and researchers in allied disciplines including
Earth and environmental science, and the social sciences.

This book grew out of a series of field trips organized by the
Department of Geography at the University College of Swansea. The
book has three aims - to provide a framework for the teaching of
geography in this field, to provide an up-to-date account of
geographical knowledge about the island, and to present the
information in such a way that it would have some appeal for
interested members of the general public.
