Praised in the first edition for the clarity of his general framework for conceptualizing meta-analysis, Rosenthal's revised edition covers the latest techniques in the field, such as a new effect size indicator for one size data, a new coefficient of robustness of replication, new procedures for combining and comparing effect sizes for multiple dependent variables, and new data on the magnitude of the problem of incomplete retrieval (the file drawer problem).

Whether you are simply interested in an ability to understand meta-analytic studies or have already published such works, this small text will be of great assistance. The author provides clear and concise discussion of all the relevant issues including valuable formulas for obtaining effect sizes from various tests of significance, procedures for appropriately combining effect sizes and testing for significance, and an interesting discussion of the binomial effect size display. While such information and methods are available elsewhere, I have never seen such a clear and concise presentation. There is also an excellent discussion of the file-drawer problem and alternatives for addressing it. In short, this is an elegant work that belongs on the shelves of any life-long student of the social sciences!

I found this book very clear and practical. Even for students not interested in doing their own meta-analysis, understanding the basics:

1) Makes it easier to include the statistics needed for others to include your research in a meta-analysis
2) Aides in understanding meta-analytic review papers
3) Emphasizes the importance of replication---no single study no matter how well designed or how statistically "significant" the results, should be regarded as conclusive until it has been replicated.

Dr. Rosenthal is a researcher in psychology, but there are also examples from other fields and I think that social scientists in general and basic medical researchers would find this useful.
