Query: Was great at one time--back in the days of slide rules

From everything I've read and heard, this was the authoritative book on the subject at one time. But, having been written in 1976, before PCs, it discusses data analysis using slide rules for computation and rulers for graph analysis. I need something to help me understand predictive modeling on SPSS. Is there something better?
