Review:
"The book is an outstanding primer for Stata, both wide in scope and highly accessible. It′s nice that the book obviously complements Pollock′s main textbook but, unlike many other "companions," does not require it. The book covers most topics that undergraduates will need in an introductory class in a sensible way. I think that it is calibrated very well to its audience, which is why I keep assigning it." Author: Matthew Wright
"The key advantage of the book is that it presumes no student knowledge and does a magnificent job in terms of guiding students through the process of interacting with Stata." Author: Ryan Black
