The second edition of this popular guide demonstrates the process of entering and analyzing data using the latest version of SPSS (12.0), and is also appropriate for those using earlier versions of SPSS. The book is easy to follow because all procedures are outlined in a step-by-step format designed for the novice user. Students are introduced to the rationale of statistical tests and detailed explanations of results are given through clearly annotated examples of SPSS output. Topics covered range from descriptive statistics through multiple regression analysis. In addition, this guide includes topics not typically covered in other books such as probability theory, interaction effects in analysis of variance, factor analysis, and scale reliability. Chapter exercises reinforce the text examples and may be performed for further practice, for homework assignments, or in computer laboratory sessions. This book can be used in two ways: as a stand-alone manual for students wishing to learn data analysis techniques using SPSS for Windows, or in research and statistics courses to be used with a basic statistics text. The book provides hands-on experience with actual data sets, helps students choose appropriate statistical tests, illustrates the meaning of results, and provides exercises to be completed for further practice or as homework assignments.

Muhamadiyah dan NU adalah kekuatan non-negara, kekuatan masyarakat sipil Islam yang otoritatif, berhadapan dengan kekuatan negara. Di pihak lain, negara juga berharap banyak pada kekuatan kedua organisasi massa itu untuk terlibat dalam proses demokratisasi dalam masa transisi seperti saat ini. Peran kedua ormas tersebut pada faktanya memang tak bisa diremehkan. Kekuatan moral dan intelektual menjadi modal sosial yang lebih dari cukup untuk membangun kesadaran politik pada tingkat publik di satu pihak, dan untuk menjaga kohesivitas antar-elemen masyarakat di pihak yang lain. Buku ini mencoba melihat secara lebih detail pergulatan kelembagaan maupun individu di dalam Muhammadiyah dan NU dalam menyikapi proses demokratisasi, serta persepsi publik terhadap demokrasi dan segala isu turunannya. Meski telah banyak buku yang ditulis mengenai pergulatan Muhammadiyah dan NU dalam konteks relasi agama dan negara, buku ini menyumbangkan gambaran nyata dari perdebatan internal kedua organisasi itu, baik pada tingkat konsepsi maupun operasional. Buku seperti ini layak diapresiasi oleh berbagai kalangan yang ingin melakukan studi lebih lanjut tentang proses transisi menuju demokrasi di Indonesia, dan bagi peminat kajian relasi Islam dan negara di Indonesia.
