About the Author

Wendy J. Steinberg entered academia midcareer, having spent the first part of her career in high-stakes test development. She holds a PhD in educational psychology with dual concentrations, one in measurement and the other in development and cognition. Teaching is her passion. She views education as a sacred task that teachers and students alike should treat with reverence. She wants this textbook in the hands of every statistics student so that tears will be banished forever from the classroom. A portion of the sale of each textbook goes to charity

Matthew Price holds a PhD in clinical psychology and has spent his career pursuing two goals. The first is helping victims of trauma and the second is teaching statistics. From his time in undergraduate statistics, he saw the challenge that this topic posed to many talented students.  He has since spent many late nights making heads or tails out of how to teach the probability of heads and tails in an approachable and enjoyable manner. He is honored to assist in writing this textbook to continue to help all of those students who have yet to discover the awesomeness of stats.

Zoe Brier is a clinical psychology doctoral student at the University of Vermont.
