Book Description

Geostatistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with the sampling, analysis, interpretation and display of phenomena that fluctuate in space. Although not all geostatistical methods are probabilistic in nature, the most important accomplishments in the field have been in estimation and forecasting, extending probabilistic methods of stochastic processes and time series analysis to the spatial domain. This book gives the only available comprehensive collection of definitions of geostatistical terms. It lists more than 600 entries selected from the book and journal literature through the end of 1989. Where appropriate, multiple meanings have been included for specific terms. Cross-references abound to help the reader when the definitions of a word leads to the search for other terms. Although all the definitions are in English, equivalent terms are provided in alphabetized lists in Chinese, French, German, Greek, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. This volume will provide a useful reference for students, scientists, engineers, and others concerned with the meaning of terms found in the geostatistical literature and heard in professional practice. Definitions and entries have been prepared with multiple levels of rigor and complexity, in order to provide help to a readership that may range from inexperienced practitioners to advanced researchers.

Book Description

What do we mean when we say time passes? How do contingency and anachronism and other philosophical concepts bearing on time affect the more (seemingly) concrete realities of our political and cultural lives? In ways small and great, personal and cultural, we all experience the mutability of time. We feel it expand and contract, speed up and slow down, as it bends to the imperatives of memory, money, and the media. In our own time (itself a pregnant phrase) we have witnessed a disengagement with the past even as technological advances have allowed us to capture and reproduce past time as never before. How are we to make sense of this paradox?

In this wide-ranging meditation on the meaning of time, Sylvaine Agacinski weaves together discussions of Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Freud, Heidegger, Baudelaire, Barthes, and especially Walter Benjamin -- her model for the modern "passer of time" -- as she traces a time line of the philosophy of time. After examining how shifting attitudes toward the passage of time have affected everything from art criticism to the development of photography to the rise of modernism itself, Agacinski concludes by proposing a rethinking of democracy that emphasizes patience in the face of our current temporal frenzy.

Book Description

Born and raised near an old mining town in rural Ohio, many times I took the wrong paths in life. Pain and despair, love and loss of love, have been constant parts of my existence as it has for most, yet we all find the strength to struggle on another day... somehow. This book is my heart on a page, and tells a story in rhyme of universal emotions that I feel each of us as humans must face. I can ask no more than for you to take a moment to share my Passing Thoughts on this game called life.

Exquisite poetic words!.......2002-04-07

Caryn has touched home again with her second labor of love, "Passing Thoughts". Her poetic form is a unique mixture of short lyric verse and deep insights into her soul. A fascinating, must read by the author who has been gracious enough to share her adolescence with us in "Living Crazy Like Fly". I am looking forward to her next work, she is well received in my High School classroom. Thank you Caryn!

Book Description

Life has become so busy, and the pace has become so fast, that we've begun to lose our focus. The first section of this book, "Passing Thoughts.to Ponder.", was written in order to share thoughts, anecdotes, and concepts with the hope that we could regain our perspective, and learn to appreciate life again. Part of that 'perspective' also deals with the areas of romance and chivalry. Somewhere along the line, those concepts seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle of day to day life. Because of the many demands of life, 'corners' are being cut.and one of the first things to go, unfortunately, is in the realm of romance. Chivalry also has been a 'casualty of modern times'. Because it has become so relatively rare, many women have conceded, and have lowered their expectations. (I would venture to say that many women have become accustomed to the absence of such once common-place acts as having a door held for them.) As expectations have declined, the number of chivalrous acts has plummeted to unprecedented lows. Women should not have to settle for being treated as anything less than a 'lady'. As expectations climb, a 'renaissance of chivalry' will follow. We need to raise our daughters to expect it, and our sons in such a manner that these acts become second-nature. "A Tribute to Women and Romance" was written in appreciation of the true beauty which exists uniquely within every woman.a beauty which frequently goes unacknowledged by the woman, herself. This section also addresses the 'art of romance'. It is my hope that this book will prompt a revitalization.a 'new age' of old-fashioned romance and chivalry.

Concerned Parent.......2005-06-20

I have had the pleasure of reading this rather poor attempt at "literature." I was planning on giving this pamphlet (emphasis on the word pamphlet -- it is only 116 pages of large type font) to my wife of 25 years, however upon closer inspection, I was utterly disappointed. The "thoughts" promulgated in this handout were merely akin to work writtten by Jack Handey. To my chagrin, the readings (and ideas) are not appropriate for my any age group, or anyone truly interested in understanding the romance. I can only wonder what type of M.D. degree this individual possesses -- his thoughts are simple, immature, and most consistant with those of an adolescent male. Definitely deserves the sales ranking of #1,536,649 in Amazon Books.
