Applying the Rasch Model, Fundamental Measurement in the Human Sciences, by Trevor G. Bond and Christine M. Fox (2001). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc, 255 pages. ISBN 0-8058-4252-7.
Applying the Rasch Model is a book that should be embraced by the research community as a foundation to the basic properties and principles of Rasch measurement. There is no question that the authors have achieved their goal of presenting an accessible overview that would not require a sophisticated statistical background. This book would draw even the most novice researcher into the topic. It is a first-rate selection for the practicing researcher who wants a tutorial on the Rasch model, for the faculty looking to find an introductory text on Rasch measurement, or for those who desire to extend their knowledge of various Rasch models and their applications. Bond and Fox have done an excellent job of taking a difficult task and making it understandable and useful to the research community.
