The definitive account of the life and work of one of the most influential of all artists. “The best book ever written on Raphael.”―Brian Sewell, Interiors “A superbly illustrated and comprehensive survey. . . . The reproductions in color and in black and white add their own splendid testimony to Raphael’s achievement.”―American Library Association Booklist “It would not be possible within the space of a review to do justice to the variety of intelligent and stimulating observations which occur throughout the text, together with well-informed references to relevant background material.”―Cecil Gould, Times Literary Supplement “A marked success . . . in the authors’ line of inquiry, in their choice of material and in the form of its presentation.”―Sylvia Ferino-Pagden, Burlington Magazine “The new and dependable source for knowledge of the artist.”―Lawrence Gowing, London Review of Books “Strikes a nice balance between instruction and illustration.”―Janet Malcolm, New Yorker “An important contribution. . . It is also an excellent introduction to the career of Raphael for undergraduates. Graduates and faculty will find it a ready reference and a healthy stimulus.”―Choice

Statistical process control and the use of designed experiments in industry have led to some remarkable successes in recent years. Many of these have been well publicized, as has the contribution of statistical methods to the development of industrial supremacy in the Pacific Rim nations. Nevertheless, statisticians are often heard to bewail the fact that these methods are not so widely used as they might be. The purpose of The Pocket Statistician is therefore to provide, in five handy chapters, a practical guide to the use of statistics in industry. Rather than expounding the underlying theory, the authors have provided insight into what methods can do and how they do it; and knowing that the intended readership are busy people the discussions have been kept as concise as possible. A data disk is included in the back so that the analyses can be practiced immediately.

<div>In a novel that fuses the riveting action of The Boys in the Boat with the emotional heft of The Fault in Our Stars, twenty men and women with cancer-ridden bodies compete in a grueling race only to discover that real victory is achieved within.</div> After he is diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, Tripp Avery feels like all is lost. He finds himself coaching a team of twelve men and eight women with cancer diagnoses of their own, hoping to qualify for the Mixed Masters Dragon Boat national championship and defy their prognoses. If they win, they will represent the United States at the International Dragon Boat races in Hong Kong. But things soon get complicated, as four of his teammates struggle against their physical limitations and the psychological weight of their conditions. In the summer heat of Chattanooga, their resolve grows thin--along with Tripp's patience. After a devastating loss to the defending national champions, Tripp can only see the finish line, and he pushes the team even harder. Soon, the team starts to fall apart. As members of the team collapse under the pressure and one is hospitalized, he must confront his own failings and find a way to move forward. He begins to question his motives, wondering if the win is worth the trauma and what that says about him. Despite the odds, he resolves to rally the team toward a comeback that seems impossible, if only for one final victory.&nbsp;
