              Book Description

              Atomic Structure and Periodicity presents basic atomic theory as given in first and second year courses at university. It demonstrates that the structure of the Periodic Table as we know it is based on sound principles. Throughout the book, theoretical concepts are presented, along with the experimental evidence for them.
              Foundations are laid in the introductory chapter, which deals with fundamental particles, electromagnetic radiation and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Atomic orbitals are then described, using a minimum of mathematics, followed by a discussion of the electron configurations of the elements. Further chapters reveal the relationships between the electronic configurations of the elements and some properties of their atoms; and the variations in the properties of their fluorides and oxides across the periods and down the groups of the Periodic Table.

                            Book Description

                            The aim of this textbook is to provide an applied introduction to statistics, and in particular to the design and analysis of experiments for students with no background in the subject. The author sets forth these goals: a strong emphasis on choosing sound design structures prior to a formal discussion of ANOVA; explore real data sets using a variety of graphs and numerical methods; testing the assumptions behind standard ANOVA texts; and so on. The text is quantitatively accessible: more difficult algebraic discussions are contained in optional sections. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the contextual understanding and interpretation of data analysis rather than stressing formal deductive, mathematical reasoning.

                            Book Description

                            Of the many areas in which statisticians and scientists must combine their knowledge, none is more important than the design and analysis of experiments. There is a direct relationship between the quality of experimental design and analysis and the validity of conclusions drawn from experimental results. Design and Analysis of Experiments is the first of two volumes that update Oscar Kempthorne's groundbreaking 1952 classic of the same name.

                            This first volume establishes both the philosophical basis for experimental design and a mathematical-statistical framework within which to discuss the subject. A sharp distinction is drawn between observation studies and the intervention studies that are the primary topic of this book. A thorough discussion of linear models provides the basic tools of analysis for intervention studies. At the heart of the book is a series of error-control designs based on fundamental design principles such as randomization, blocking, the Latin square principle, the split-unit principle, and the notion of factorial treatment structure. There are also discussions of response surface and mixture designs, and the construction of customized designs based on one or more fundamental principles.

                            This is the ultimate textbook for a first-year graduate course in experimental design. A thorough understanding of the material covered in this book will fully prepare students to grapple with the more complex technical material presented in advanced courses in experimental design.

                            The classic text now updated and expanded for the 1990s...

                            5 out of 5 stars heuristic and insightful reference .......2006-06-13

                            Given that it is published in 1994, this text is still the heuristic and insightful reference for a first-year graduate course in experimental design. The material mentioned in this book will nodoubtly enable students to tackle the complex technical materials presented in advanced courses and journal articles regarding experimental designing.

                                      The design and analysis of experiments is typically taught as part of a second-year course in statistics; however, the information contained in this book is relevant throughout the sciences and social sciences. Based on the authors' extensive teaching experience, the book offers an accessible introduction to the basic principles behind good experimental thinking, planning, and design. The authors discuss practical examples from biological, industrial, medical, and environmental experimentation.

                                        Book Description

                                        This second edition is still designed for graduate students and researchers in the social, behavioral and health sciences who have modest backgrounds in mathematics and statistics. Also, priority is still given to the discussion of seminal ideas that underlie the analysis of variance. With respect to the first edition, the late Jum C. Nunnally of Vanderbilt University remarked, "Overall, there is no better text on statistics in the behavioral sciences available, and I strongly recommend it." A new feature is the optional availability of a microcomputer software package, MICRO-ANOVA, that will enable researchers to perform all analyses presented in the text on IBM PCs or equivalent computers. The software package is available through UPA.

                                          Anna Plus: Tales From a Town Called Wells is a series of Award-winning memoirs of the years 1915 through 1945. Rural School teaching, the Great Depression, drought, dust storms, all show the very human changes in education, transportation, medicine, communication and social mores. The Roosevelt Era shows how the war was fought on the home front by those characterized in Tom Brokaw's book The Greatest Generation.

                                          Somehow Anna captures that peculiar feeling of knowing that your hometown is special and unique. This memoir reads like the best kind of novel - absorbing, enlightening and believable, never trite or sentimental. Reading this book to my kids was a great experience - they really got how things were in the "olden days": the day-to-day realities of living without electricity and indoor plumbing and the timeless importance of family and community.

                                          For those of us born during the Great Depression of the 30's or World War 2, Anna's tales show us one small town in Middle America as our parents and grandparents experienced it. The poignant--and sometimes, comical--details of family and community life are recounted in the context of events on the national and international stage. My mother was Anna's friend, classmate, and neighbor. As she read each chapter, she exclaimed again and again, "She got it exactly right!"

                                          A long-time resident of New Orleans, Lyle Saxon (1891-1946) was a widely known author, journalist, bon vivant, and intimate friend to some of the most prestigious writers of his generation. In this study of Saxon's life and creative works, james Thomas retraces the odyssey of this multi-talented son of the Old South from his days as a reporter on the New orleans Times-Picayune to the literary salons of New York's Greenwich Village. Upon his return to New Orleans, he served as director of the W.P.A. Federal Writer's Project and became a legend in the city he dearly loved and celebrated in such popular histories as Fabulous New Orleans, Lafitte the Pirate, and Old Louisiana. His only novel, Children of Strangers (1937), was lavishly praised for its frank and sensitive portrayal of race relations in the segregated South. Editor, short story writer, novelist, popular historian, and perceptive witness to his times, Lyle Saxon comes vividly to life in this well-crafted biography that focuses new attention on an important figure in Southern literature. This book is complemented by a chronology of Saxon's published works, a bibliography of critical studies devoted to his writings, and an index.

                                          5 out of 5 stars A Fine Complement to The Harvey Book.......2006-06-10

                                          This book is related to the Chance Harvey book published later; Harvey's dissertation, which formed the basis for her book, is cited as a reference in this one, which was published about 10 years before. This book is more focused on the literary side of Saxon; Harvey's book looks more at his life. So, both books together make up the most three-dimensional look we have at this complex, tormented man. Both authors point out that Saxon is not well remembered outside of New Orleans. More's the pity; apart from his literary works, his urban pioneer role in reviving the French Quarter deserves wider notice. Although the Thomas book deals mainly with his written legacy, it does address, with greater frankness than Harvey, his sexual life-what little evidence there is of it. This is not to suggest that any titillating dish is to be found in either work; the gay men and women of that time lived in shadows and shadows are what remains of their identities. The only caveat-as with my review of the Harvey book-is that the fates of Saxon's close friends, and the lasting effects of his legacy in the Quarter, go largely unmentioned. A third book to consider is Robert Tallant's Mr. Preen's Salon (1949) which, although labelled as fiction, is a loving and yet unsparing portrait of Saxon's behavior, particularly his drinking bouts.
