Elementary Statistics for Geographers
Statistics courses frequently gloss over the foundations of statistical analysis and concentrate solely on method. As a result, students are able to perform the techniques, but do not know when to utilize them or how to interpret results incorporating statistical methods. Designed to give geography students a solid understanding of key statistical concepts, this in-depth text both presents basic techniques and fully explores their meaning and importance. Structured for optimal classroom use, the book includes helpful student exercises with answer keys. Four broad sections provide comprehensive coverage of descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, statistical relationships between two variables, and modern methods of analysis.

This was required reading for a class in Fundamental Statistical Analysis, in the school of Geospatial Information Science. I actually really enjoyed the format of this book. The author is very clear. Its very technical, with a few practice examples, tables and diagrams mixed into make things clear. At the end of each chapter are problems, the answers to some of which are on the author's website. There are a *lot* of errors in this book - go to the author's website and get the errata.
