Pearson College Div

A preparatory text covering the principles and applications of sedimentology and stratigraphy, this book uses modern examples of depositional environments and the ancient stratigraphic record. This edition offers updated technical information and a major reorganization of chapters to promote a greater clarity and emphasis on current topics. There are new approaches to the analysis of basins, including sequence stratigraphy. This book should be of use to undergraduates students of sedimentology and stratigraphy.

This edition contains a large number of additions and corrections scattered throughout the text, including the incorporation of a new chapter on state-space models. The companion diskette for the IBM PC has expanded into the software package ITSM: An Interactive Time Series Modelling Package for the PC, which includes a manual and can be ordered from Springer-Verlag. * We are indebted to many readers who have used the book and programs and made suggestions for improvements. Unfortunately there is not enough space to acknowledge all who have contributed in this way; however, special mention must be made of our prize-winning fault-finders, Sid Resnick and F. Pukelsheim. Special mention should also be made of Anthony Brockwell, whose advice and support on computing matters was invaluable in the preparation of the new diskettes. We have been fortunate to work on the new edition in the excellent environments provided by the University of Melbourne and Colorado State University. We thank Duane Boes particularly for his support and encouragement throughout, and the Australian Research Council and National Science Foundation for their support of research related to the new material. We are also indebted to Springer-Verlag for their constant support and assistance in preparing the second edition. Fort Collins, Colorado P. J. BROCKWELL November, 1990 R. A.

This is an introduction to time series that emphasizes methods and analysis of data sets. The logic and tools of model-building for stationary and non-stationary time series are developed and numerous exercises, many of which make use of the included computer package, provide the reader with ample opportunity to develop skills. Statisticians and students will learn the latest methods in time series and forecasting, along with modern computational models and algorithms.

Time Series: Theory and Methods, 2nd Edition

It's the Subtleties that Matter! What is the real difference between competent leader and extraordinary executive? Is it pedigree, experience, intelligence? The answer is yes...and much more. Exceptional leadership hinges on a complex interaction between individual psychology and unique business needs. At the top rung of the ladder, where the dynamics are most complicated, subtle adjustments in style can produce outstanding results. In his new book, The Intangibles of Leadership, Management Psychologist Richard Davis, Ph.D., uncovers patterns in the attributes that truly distinguish those who succeed at the top. What he found was that extraordinary leaders possess certain characteristics that fall between the lines of existing leadership models, yet are fundamental to executive success. Davis explains each of these qualities, the people who exemplify them, how to detect them in others, and most importantly, how to develop the subtle characteristics that will enable them to stand out from the pack. Learn why... <ul>
<li>It's often better to aim for silver than for gold </li>
<li>Playing hard to get attracts people to you </li>
<li>It's important to have a slightly inflated view of your abilities </li>
<li>Your peripheral vision is so important </li>
<li>It's ok to get angry with your team </li>
<li>So many extraordinary executives have gone through crises early in their lives </li>
</ul>

There is an emotional staircase that descends into a state of hysteria and despair, where feelings take precedence over facts, self-control is lost, and souls are broken. We find ourselves in a world that is pummeling our senses and fueling our emotions. Political polarization. Divisive stereotypes. Media madness. Broken relationships. Moral confusion. Chronic depression. How can we maintain balance and control in such an environment? And how can we be healed when these forces are wounding our souls? Richard Davis examines 15 of the emotions that rob us of peace and threaten our health. But he doesn’t stop there. After analyzing these emotional traps, he offers practical advice on how to avoid and escape them.
