While other books describe these multilevel models in considerable detail none focuses on the practical issues and potential problems of doing multilevel analyses that are covered in Introducing Multilevel Modeling.

The authors' approach is user-oriented and the formal mathematics and statistics are kept to a minimum. Other key feThis is the first accessible and practical guide to using multilevel models in social research.
