About "A Brief Introduction to Statistical Modeling for Disaster and Emergency Management Research"

Find the answers to disaster and emergency management research questions with "Disaster and Emergency Management Methods." Written to engage students and to provide a flexible foundation for instructors and practitioners, this interdisciplinary textbook provides a holistic understanding of disaster and emergency management research methods used in the field.

The disaster and emergency management contexts have a host of challenges that affect the research process that subsequently shape methodological approaches, data quality, analysis and inferences. In this book, readers are presented with the considerations that must be made before engaging in the research process, in addition to a variety of qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches that are currently being used in the discipline. Current, relevant, and fascinating real-world applications provide a window into how each approach is being applied in the field.

"Disaster and Emergency Management Methods" serves as an effective way to empower readers to approach their own study of disaster and emergency management research methods with confidence.

About "Design and Analysis in Educational Research Using jamovi: ANOVA Designs"

The book is tailored made for first-level doctoral courses in research design and analysis. It will also be of interest to graduate students in education and educational research. The book begins with basic statistics, followed by the logic of hypothesis testing, then independent t-test, which builds to the different forms of ANOVA designs.
