PATERSON The typical corporation loses 5% of its annual revenue to fraud. This translated to a total worldwide loss due to fraud of $2.9 trillion. This book provides a new investigative tool for fraud investigators--profiling a fraudster. The author takes a step-by-step approach from the Fraud Triangle to identify characteristics in employees that should sound alarm bells both for those currently employed by the company as well as potential new hires. This book covers a wide range of organizational fraud types including abuse of power, embezzlement, computer fraud, expense abuse, and much more. Financial constraints and an increased regulatory focus on corporate governance have placed Internal Audit departments under increasing pressure to get the most out of their resources. However, there is a tendency for audits to get bogged down in detail, reducing productivity and restricting the value which Internal Audit should add to the business. Lean techniques can improve both productivity and value, and this book will highlight the principles and best practices that mark out successful Internal Audit departments, allowing audit professionals to apply these techniques in day-to-day practice.

To feed an ever increasing world population will require a great increase in food production. Wheat, corn, rice, potato and legumes are expected to lead as the most important crops in the world. Due to environmental fluctuations legumes are often exposed to different environmental stresses, leading to decreased yield and problems with growth and development of the legumes. The present work will cover the physiobiochemical, molecular and omic approaches and responses of legumes towards environmental stress. Contributors will be active researchers and practitioners from international institutions and organisations. The book will be a valuable and much-needed resource for plant scientists, breeders and agricultural researchers worldwide.

ERMANN Editor KEVIN MITCHELL & Editor GEORGE KATODRYTIS Architectural Acoustics Illustrated translates the quantitative and qualitative content of acoustics into the graphic language of architecture. Text, ample illustrations, and animations outline the physics of sound, the design of spaces for listening, and best-practices for limiting and mitigating noise in buildings. Using a highly visual format, Ermann explains the principles of architectural acoustics and its practical application in building projects. Reflecting the latest materials and design techniques, Architectural Acoustics Illustrated is the most understandable guide to a complex subject. At the end of the 20th century, Dubai attracted international media attention as the world sought to make sense of the city’s extraordinary growth. Exuberant projects such as the Burj Arab, the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Islands attracted investment in dreams to transform the region. While the global financial crisis kept dreams from becoming reality, this issue of AD seeks to present a view of architecture and urbanism in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other states in the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at a time when greater economic stability promises new beginnings. The issue presents examples of architecture that transcends preoccupation with fabricating images, and traces the process of making contemporary Gulf cities, from material tectonics to large-scale masterplans. By presenting the architecture of UAE and the Gulf within the context of broader regional developments and global trends, it highlights how projects in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have contributed to unprecedented urban growth, while emphasising the continuing environmental challenges of building in the region. In addition to highlighting various sustainable initiatives intended to counteract these challenges, the issue also explores how computational design and new technologies are being innovatively employed to mitigate the impact of arid climates. Directed to architects and architecture students, engineers, musicians, acousticians, building professionals, and interested laypeople, the book offers a “first-look” at the interaction of sound and space, and a comprehensive “how-to” practical guide for designing with acoustics in mind.

How Delegation Can Give you Space to Succeed GAIL THOMAS The Gift of Time explores the areas of: Delegation and SME; Delegation in corporate management and Delegation at home. Written in a professional but informal tone, and always honest, it includes chapters by guest writers, and case studies for each section. The book sets out to: Teach the reader that delegation leads to a happier job, a happier life, an ability to do more of what you love, a means of doing less of what you don’t, space to get creative and thus grow career, business or time with family. It then supports this premise with research on the value of delegation (in currency – currently £300 billion per annum in the UK). It will communicate the attitudes and barriers to delegation and the manifestations of poor delegation on workload, team, department and business and identify profiles traits in regard to delegation. The second part of the book will teach the basic principles of delegation and support this teaching with case studies.

CORTADA, Madison, United States LORA M. CECERE This book links the information-influenced work of managers to fundamental changes in the economy, in which the further integration of global industries, markets, and national economies are themselves influencing managerial processes and procedures. Most companies want to move their supply chains from a focus on cost to one of value. However, to complete this journey, they must answer the question, "What is value?” Leaders are inundated with a myriad of metrics, and there is no road map on which metrics matter to improve market capitalization. The goal of this book is to help companies understand the role of supply chain in improving market capitalization and to determine which metrics matter the most in improving value.

MARR Convert the promise of big data into real world results There is so much buzz around big data. We all need to know what it is and how it works - that much is obvious. But is a basic understand of the theory enough to hold your own in strategy meetings? Probably. But what will set you apart from the rest is actually knowing how to USE big data to get solid, real-world business results - and putting that in place to improve performance. Big Data will give you a clear understanding, blueprint, and step-by-step approach to build your own big data strategy. This is a well-needed practical introduction to actually putting the topic into practice. Illustrated with numerous real-world examples from a cross section of companies and organisations, will take you through the five steps of the SMART model: Start with Strategy, Measure Metrics and Data, Apply Analytics, Report Results, Transform.

R. J. DAINTY & Editor CARL ABBOTT Portland State University MEI-YUNG LEUNG, ISABELLE YEE SHAN CHAN & CARY L. COOPER Simplistic and vague assumptions and sometimes outright misunderstandings on the nature of construction innovation and its implications are an obstacle to clear thinking and reasoning about the important innovation challenges facing the construction industry. This book gets to grips with the real-life complexity of construction innovation, and does this whilst avoiding simply reproducing the complexities of real-life construction innovation within the book itself. This book develops simpler and more general concepts, in order to make sense of what is the reality of construction innovation and takes a fresh look at what is actually hidden inside the broad term “construction innovation”. Rather than glossing over difficult conceptual issues, this book instead looks explicitly at the actual challenges that conceptual issues entail and seeks to open up fresh intellectual space for reflection on construction innovation. With its task complexity, tight timeframes, complicated work relationships and poor working environments, the construction industry is recognised as stressful. This book aims to enhance the performance of construction personnel by presenting an integrated and comprehensive stress management model. Though illustrating both how construction personnel are affected by various stressors and how this influences their performance the model also explains how stress levels can be managed by dealing with the stressors and using appropriate adaptive coping behaviours. Stress Management in the Construction Industry is based on an extensive literature review, on survey studies and on scenario analyses to thoroughly investigate the components of stress management for construction personnel, including the multiple dimensions of the stress they experience, the nature of their stressors, the coping behaviors they adopt, and the consequences of stress for their performance. The book aims to help researchers in construction management and in occupational health and safety understand the issues and theory, as well as offering practical recommendations for professional bodies and policy advisors.

KELLEHER JR., G. SCOTT WALTERS & SMITH, CURRIE & HANCOCK LLP Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP The drive towards environmentally friendly buildings and infrastructure has led to a growing interest in providing design solutions underpinned by the core principles of sustainability to balance economic, social and environmental factors. The book is a practical introduction to the significant legal topics and questions affecting construction industry professionals, whether they work for general contractors, subcontractors, owners, or surety bond agents. It's not intended to cover legal theory or serve as a lawyers guide to case law and commentary. The book's strength has always been its "common-sense" approach, clear, unaffected writing and focus on writing for construction professionals rather than lawyers. The new edition will feature a new chapter on Public-Private Partnerships (P3), an emerging solution for financing large-scale projects that, as well as a new chapter on international construction projects as American firms continue to pursue work overseas. Tom Kelleher and his colleagues will thoroughly review the new agreements produced by AIA, AGC, EJCDC, and other, and offer advice for migrating to the new forms, identify similarities between the old forms and the new, and highlight any issues or areas of concern in the new agreements. Samples of documents will be provided on an accompanying website for ease of reference. Design Economics for the Built Environment: Impact of sustainability on project evaluation presents new directions, reflecting the need to recognise the impact of climate change and the importance of sustainability in project evaluation. The aim is to provide a new approach to understanding design economics in the context of the changing policy environment, legislative and regulatory framework, and increasing economic, environmental and social pressure as result of the sustainability agenda. The book follows a structured approach from theories and principles in the earlier chapters, to the practical applications and emerging techniques focusing on value and social, economic and environmental considerations in making design decisions. It starts with the policy context, building on various theories and principles such as, capital cost, value of design and resource-based theories, the new rules of measurement (NRM) to explore cost planning, the relationship between height and costs, key socio-economic and environmental variables for design appraisal, eco-cost/value ratio (EVR), whole life theory and the treatment of carbon emission as external costs, productivity and efficiency, fiscal drivers and legal framework for carbon reduction, procurement and allocation of risks in contracts.

RAINEY, Colorado Springs & Editor ANDREAS TOLK, Norfolk, United States SimIS, Inc. Maintaining a stable level of power quality in the distribution network is a growing challenge due to increased use of power electronics converters in domestic, commercial and industrial sectors. Power quality deterioration is manifested in increased losses; poor utilization of distribution systems; mal-operation of sensitive equipment and disturbances to nearby consumers, protective devices, and communication systems. However, as the energy-saving benefits will result in increased AC power processed through power electronics converters, there is a compelling need for improved understanding of mitigation techniques for power quality problems. Problems and Mitigation Techniques BHIM SINGH, AMBRISH CHANDRA & KAMAL AL-HADDAD Modeling and Simulation Support for System of Systems Engineering Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the underlying theory, methods, and solutions in modeling and simulation support for system of systems engineering. Highlighting plentiful multidisciplinary applications of modeling and simulation, the book addresses the criteria and challenges found within the field. Beginning with a foundation of concepts, terms, and categories, the book introduces a theoretical and generalized approach to system of systems engineering, and presents real-world applications via case studies and examples. A unified approach is maintained in an effort to understand the complexity of a single system as well as the context among other proximate systems. This timely book comprehensively identifies, classifies, analyses and quantifies all associated power quality problems, including the direct integration of renewable energy sources in the distribution system, and systematically delivers mitigation techniques to overcome these problems.

It is not only the strongly magnetized planets that have magnetotails. Mars and Venus have no global intrinsic magnetic field, yet they possess induced magnetotails. Comets have magnetotails that are formed by the draping of the interplanetary magnetic field. In the case of planetary satellites (moons), the magnetotail refers to the wake region behind the satellite in the flow of either the solar wind or the magnetosphere of its parent planet. The largest magnetotail of all in our solar system is the heliotail, the “magnetotail” of the heliosphere. The variety of solar wind conditions, planetary rotation rates, ionospheric conductivity, and physical dimensions provide an outstanding opportunity to extend our understanding of the influence of these factors on magnetotail processes and structures.

WHITE, Cornell University This book provides a comprehensive introduction to radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry. Beginning with a brief overview of nuclear physics and nuclear origins, it then reviews radioactive decay schemes and their use in geochronology. A following chapter covers the closely related techniques such as fission-track and carbon-14 dating. Subsequent chapters cover nucleosynthetic anomalies in meteorites and early solar system chronology and the use of radiogenic isotopes in understanding the evolution of the Earth’s mantle, crust, and oceans. Attention then turns to stable isotopes and after reviewing the basic principles involved, the book explores their use in topics as diverse as mantle evolution, archeology and paleontology, ore formation, and, particularly, paleoclimatology. A following chapter explores recent developments including unconventional stable isotopes, mass-independent fractionation, and isotopic ‘clumping’. The final chapter reviews the isotopic variation in the noble gases, which result from both radioactive decay and chemical fractionations. ROBIN GILL, Royal Holloway University of London Chemical principles are fundamental to the Earth sciences, and geoscience students increasingly require a firm grasp of basic chemistry to succeed in their studies. The enlarged third edition of this highly regarded textbook introduces the student to such geo-relevant’ chemistry, presented in the same lucid and accessible style as earlier editions, but the new edition has been strengthened in its coverage of environmental geoscience and incorporates a new chapter introducing isotope geochemistry. The book comprises three broad sections. The first (Chapters 1–4) deals with the basic physical chemistry of geological processes. The second (Chapters 5–8) introduces the wave-mechanical view of the atom and explains the various types of chemical bonding that give Earth materials their diverse and distinctive properties. The final chapters (9–11) survey the geologically relevant elements and isotopes, and explain their formation and their abundances in the cosmos and the Earth. The book concludes with an extensive glossary of terms; appendices cover basic maths, explain basic solution chemistry, and list the chemical elements and the symbols, units and constants used in the book.

LONG & Editor DR BENJAMIN P. HORTON University of Durham; University of Durham; Rutgers University The cryosphere, that region of the world where water is temporarily or permanently frozen, plays a crucial role on our planet. Recent developments in remote sensing techniques, and the acquisition of new data sets, have resulted in significant advances in our understanding of all components of the cryosphere and its processes. Measuring sea-level change – be that rise or fall – is one of the most pressing scientific goals of our time and requires robust scientific approaches and techniques. This Handbook aims to provide a practical guide to readers interested in this challenge, from the initial design of research approaches through to the practical issues of data collection and interpretation from a diverse range of coastal environments. Building on thirty years of international research, the Handbook comprises 38 chapters that are authored by leading experts from around the world. The Handbook will be an important resource to scientists interested and involved in understanding sea-level changes across a broad range of disciplines, policy makers wanting to appreciate our current state of knowledge of sea-level change over different timescales, and many teachers at the university level, as well as advanced-level undergraduates and postgraduate research students, wanting to learn more about sea-level change. This book, based on contributions from 40 leading experts, offers a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the methods, techniques and recent advances in applications of remote sensing of the cryosphere. Examples of the topics covered include: • snow extent, depth, grain-size and impurities • surface and subsurface melting • glaciers • accumulation over the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets • ice thickness and velocities • gravimetric measurements from space • sea, lake and river ice • frozen ground and permafrost • fieldwork activities • recent and future cryosphere-oriented missions and experiments All figures are in color and provide an excellent visual accompaniment to the technical and scientific aspect of the book.

THOMSETT Investors and traders are constantly seeking the “magic bullet” for identifying profitable trades and, equally important, for timing both entry and exit. Fundamental and technical traders face a set of problems making this a true challenge. In the 1940s, the average holding period of investments was 8 years. By 2012, it is closer to 8 weeks. This is due to the reduced cost of trading, ease of access via the Internet, and changes in the overall culture of the stock market. This book demonstrates how investors (buy-and-hold, value, and growth) can use fundamental analysis to improve their selection of stocks and other securities. It further demonstrates how traders (day and swing traders, speculators, short-term traders) can make use of various technical indicators to improve entry and exit while managing risks. Finally, the book demonstrates how both fundamental and technical skills can and should be used together, in recognition of the fact that each are aspects of the same cause and effect within the market. Most analysis books focus on one or the other. SERIES: WILEY FINANCE JANUARY 2015 336PP 978-1-118-93677-1 CL $60.00 (Japan) Money & Banking SERIES: GETTING STARTED IN.....

HAN Frito-Lay Inc. Editor LUIS M. BOTANA & Editor AMPARO ALFONSO University of Santiago de Compostela Taste is the number one driving force in the decision to purchase a food product and food consumption is the most critical function for living organisms to obtain the energy and resources essential to their vitality. Flavor and aroma are therefore universally important concepts: intrinsic to human well-being and pleasure, and of huge significance for the multi-trillion dollar global food business. Phycotoxins are a diverse group of poisonous substances produced by certain seaweed and algae in marine and fresh waters. Marine toxins are important to the scientific community for many reasons, the most obvious being that they pose food safety issues which requires a large investment from producing countries to regularly monitor the presence of these compounds in foods. For centuries we have been aware that some edible marine products contain toxins or poisons, and therefore we only eat those that are safe. However, phycotoxins accumulate in fish and shellfish from their diet and these toxins are carried up the food chain in edible aquatic products, which can pose harm to people when they reach a certain level. How Flavor Works: the Science of Taste and Aroma offers a fascinating and accessible primer on the concepts of flavor science for all who have an interest in food and related topics. Professionals and students of food science and technology who do not already specialize in flavor science will find it a valuable reference on a topic crucial to how consumers perceive and enjoy food products. In this regard, it will also be of interest to product developers, marketers and food processors. Other readers with a professional (eg culinary and food service) or personal interest in food will also find the book interesting as it provides a user-friendly account of the mechanisms of flavor and aroma which will provide new insights into their craft. The presence of marine and aquatic toxins is now identified in geographical areas where they were never detected before, which is becoming a concern for food safety authorities as the expansion of water toxins worldwide is a serious threat. The legal change on the standards to control marine toxins has brought about concerns with regard to what toxins are leaking to food and not being identified by food regulators.

UBELAKER Each year, some two million people in the United Kingdom experience visual hallucinations. Infrequent, fleeting visual hallucinations, often around sleep, are a usual feature of life. In contrast, consistent, frequent, persistent hallucinations during waking are strongly associated with clinical disorders; in particular delirium, eye disease, psychosis, and dementia. Research interest in these disorders has driven a rapid expansion in investigatory techniques, new evidence, and explanatory models. In parallel, a move to generative models of normal visual function has resolved the theoretical tension between veridical and hallucinatory perceptions. From initial fragmented areas of investigation, the field has become increasingly coherent over the last decade. Controversies and gaps remain, but for the first time the shapes of possible unifying models are becoming clear, along with the techniques for testing these. The Global Practice of Forensic Science presents histories, issues, patterns, and diversity in the applications of international forensic science. Written by 64 experienced and internationally recognized forensic scientists, the volume documents the practice of forensic science in 28 countries from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Each country’s chapter explores factors of political history, academic linkages, the influence of individual cases, facility development, types of cases examined, integration within forensic science, recruitment, training, funding, certification, accreditation, quality control, technology, disaster preparedness, legal issues, research and future directions. Aimed at all scholars interested in international forensic science, the volume provides detail on the diverse fields within forensic science and their applications around the world. SERIES: FORENSIC SCIENCE IN FOCUS JANUARY 2015 368PP 978-1-118-72416-3 CL $129.95 (Japan) Forensic Science This book provides a comprehensive survey of the neuroscience of visual hallucinations and the clinical techniques for testing these.

They discuss results from the main investigatory techniques applied in a range of clinical disorders. The final section outlines future research directions investigating the potential for new understandings of veridical and hallucinatory perceptions, and for treatments of problematic hallucinations. Networking for Nerds provides a step-by-step guide to understanding how to access hidden professional opportunities through networking. With an emphasis on practical advice on how and why to network, you will learn how to formulate and execute a strategic networking plan that is dynamic, multi-dimensional, and leverages social media platforms and other networking channels. An invaluable resource for both established and early-career scientists and engineers (as well as networking neophytes!), Networking for Nerds offers concrete insight on crafting professional networks that are mutually- beneficial and support the advancement of both your career goals and your scholarly ambitions. "Networking" does not mean going to one reception or speaking with a few people at one conference, and never contacting them again. Rather, "networking" involves a spectrum of activities that engages both parties, ensures everyone's value is appropriately communicated, and allows for the exploration of a win-win collaboration of some kind. Written by award-winning entrepreneur and strategic career planning expert Alaina G. Levine, Networking for Nerds is an essential resource for anyone working in scientific and engineering fields looking to enhance their professional planning for a truly fulfilling, exciting, and stimulating career.

KIM The edition introduces a new class of invariant derivatives and shows their relationships with other derivatives, such as the Sobolev generalized derivative and the generalized derivative of the distribution theory. This is a new direction in mathematics. i-Smooth analysis is the branch of functional analysis that considers the theory and applications of the invariant derivatives of functions and functionals. The important direction of i-smooth analysis is the investigation of the relation of invariant derivatives with the Sobolev generalized derivative and the generalized derivative of distribution theory. Until now, i-smooth analysis has been developed mainly to apply to the theory of functional differential equations, and the goal of this book is to present i-smooth analysis as a branch of functional analysis. The notion of the invariant derivative (i-derivative) of nonlinear functionals has been introduced in mathematics, and this in turn developed the corresponding i-smooth calculus of functionals and showed that for linear continuous functionals the invariant derivative coincides with the generalized derivative of the distribution theory. This book intends to introduce this theory to the general mathematics, engineering, and physicist communities.

MALHI Professor of Mental Health and Cultural Diversity, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, UK; Professor of Psychiatry, Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney and Head of Department, Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia Healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses, are often confronted with patients who use over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medicinal products and food supplements. While taking responsibility for one’s own health and treatment options is encouraged, many patients use these products based on limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information from non-scientific sources, such as the popular press and internet. There is a clear need to offer balanced, well-informed advice to patients, yet a number of studies have shown that, generally, conventionally-trained health practitioners consider their knowledge about herbal medicinal products and supplements to be weak. • An account of some challenging disorders in neuropsychiatry • Raises awareness of uncommon neuropsychiatric disorders, then discusses what to do once such a diagnosis has been made • Focuses on management issues, providing practical advice for dealing with complex cases • This edition includes advice on the treatment of more common but still challenging disorders This book is an attempt to fill this knowledge gap, and is intended for use by the busy pharmacist, nurse, or doctor, as well as the ‘expert patient’ and students of pharmacy and herbal medicine. It presents clear, practical and concise monographs on over a hundred popular herbal medicines and plant-based food supplements.

FIGLIOLA & DONALD BEASLEY Clemson University Extended Finite Element Method: Theory and Applications introduces the theory and applications of the extended finite element method (XFEM) in the linear and nonlinear problems of continua, structures and geomechanics. The XFEM approach is based on an extension of standard finite element method based on the partition of unity method. Extended Finite Element Method: Theory and Applications begins by introducing the concept of partition of unity, various enrichment functions, and fundamentals of XFEM formulation. It then covers the theory and application of XFEM in large deformations, plasticity and contact problems. The implementation of XFEM in fracture mechanics, including the linear, cohesive, and ductile crack propagation is also covered. The theory and applications of the XFEM in multiphase fluid flow, including the hydraulic fracturing in soil saturated media and crack propagation in thermo-hydro-mechanical porous media, is also discussed in detail. Figliola and Beasley’s 6th edition of Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements provides a time-tested and respected approach to the theory of engineering measurements. An emphasis on the role of statistics and uncertainty analysis in the measuring process makes this text unique. While the measurements discipline is very broad, careful selection of topical coverage, establishes the physical principles and practical techniques for quantifying many engineering variables that have multiple engineering applications. In the sixth edition, Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements continues to emphasize the conceptual design framework for selecting and specifying equipment, test procedures and interpreting test results. Coverage of topics, applications and devices has been updated—including information on data acquisition hardware and communication protocols, infrared imaging, and microphones. New examples that illustrate either case studies or interesting vignettes related to the application of measurements in current practice are introduced.

KARKKAINEN This book covers multi-scale damage modeling of composite materials while expanding classical techniques to consider advanced fiber architectures such as woven textile composites. Classical methods are expanded to the analysis of thick-section composites which opens the regime to ballistic and low velocity impact applications. These analyses are inherently multi-scale in nature, as deformation and failure mechanisms involve multiple phenomena on several length scales. Nano and micro scale modeling utilizing molecular and dynamic (MD) and advanced fracture computational techniques (XFEM and cohesive element approaches) can be employed to determine the property enhancements and toughening effects of nanoparticulate and carbon nanotube reinforcements. Material-by-design approaches to composite material development will be achieved through modeling of representative microstructures at multiple length scales.

JEX & THOMAS W. BRITT Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH ; Clemson University, Clemson, SC Great Myths of Child Development reveals the latest evidence-based science behind the myths and misconceptions around the developing child. Topics covered include preconceived notions about twin-telepathy, sex-prediction, baby talk, vaccines, spankings, child care, imaginary friends, and many more. To illustrate the mixed messages about healthy child development presented in the media, the authors also draw on examples from a variety of contemporary TV shows and feature films—everything from Modern Family and Mad Men to Moonshiners and Meet the Fockers. The authors contrast this stereotypical behaviour with their top ten list of the most surprising—but true—findings in the field of child development. Readers wishing to take ‘the next step’ are also pointed in an evidence-based direction to topics relating to fertility, sleep problems, ADHD, education, autism, bedwetting, depression, anxiety, behavior problems, divorce, and parenting. From the moment of conception through the years of childhood, Great Myths of Child Development separates the pseudo from the science to take out some of the confusion and concern over the development skills and growth of your child.

CRUZ, GARETH W. PETERS & PAVEL V. SHEVCHENKO RiskMaths This book presents an overview of the foundations and the key ideas and results of linear and generalized linear models under one cover. Written by a prolific academic, researcher, and textbook writer, Foundations of Linear and Generalized Linear Models is soon to become the gold standard by which all existing textbooks on the topic will be compared. While the emphasis is clearly and succinctly on theoretical underpinnings, applications in "R" are presented when they help to elucidate the content or promote practical model building. Each chapter contains approximately 15-20 exercises, primarily for readers to practice and extend the theory, but, also to assimilate the ideas by doing some data analysis.
