With the "Faber Book of English History in Verse" and his collection of poems and parodies, "Unauthorized Versions", Kenneth Baker, the Home Secretary, is an established editor and anthologist. In this book he turns his attention to the field of satire and invective. From Dryden and Swift, to Christopher Logue and Roger McGough, English poets have shown a special talent for voicing their outrage and contempt in the face of smugness, hypocrisy, overweening power, philistinism and all the vices and foibles of public life.

Reflects the latest applied research and features state-of-the-art software for building and solving spreadsheet optimization modelsThoroughly updated to reflect the latest topical and technical advances in the field, Optimization Modeling with Spreadsheets, Second Edition continues to focus on solving real-world optimization problems through the creation of mathematical models and the use of spreadsheets to represent and analyze those models. Developed and extensively classroom-tested by the author, the book features a systematic approach that equips readers with the skills to apply optimization tools effectively without the need to rely on specialized algorithms.
This new edition uses the powerful software package Risk Solver Platform (RSP) for optimization, including its Evolutionary Solver, which employs many recently developed ideas for heuristic programming. The author provides expanded coverage of integer programming and discusses linear and nonlinear programming using a systematic approach that emphasizes the use of spreadsheet-based optimization tools. The Second Edition also features:
<ul>
<li>Classifications for the various problem types, providing the reader with a broad framework for building and recognizing optimization models</li>
<li>Network models that allow for a more general form of mass balance</li>
<li>A systematic introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)</li>
<li>The identification of qualitative patterns in order to meaningfully interpret linear programming solutions</li>
<li>An introduction to stochastic programming and the use of RSP to solve problems of this type</li>
</ul>
Additional examples, exercises, and cases have been included throughout, allowing readers to test their comprehension of the material. In addition, a related website features Microsoft Office® Excel files to accompany the figures and data sets in the book.
With its accessible and comprehensive presentation, Optimization Modeling with Spreadsheets, Second Edition is an excellent book for courses on deterministic models, optimization, and spreadsheet modeling at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. The book can also serve as a reference for researchers, practitioners, and consultants working in business, engineering, operations research, and management science.

This trip through one of the most densely populated areas of the world is also a journey through a strangely underpopulated place, inhabited only by the traces of city dwellers. The dark back alleys that crisscross the city are home to objects that, at first glance, seem to be discarded―the random detritus of the man-made world. Under the scrutiny of Michael Wolf's photographic eye, these objects become fascinating installation pieces, while the abstract patterns of the buildings reveal the beauty and order that underlie the apparent chaos of the city. Thought-provoking texts by Kenneth Baker and Douglas Young explore the choices that people make of lifestyle, form, function, identity, and design, as well as the notion of Hong Kong as a brand. 75 color photographs

Kenneth Baker, former Conservative Party Chairman, reveals Mrs Thatcher's strengths and weaknesses, and charts the mixture of accident, mistake, ambition, intrigue, slighted pride, misplaced optimism and faulty judgement which led to her decline. Drawing on the diaries he kept over 13 years, Baker gives blow-by-blow accounts of key meetings and conversations, providing an insider's view of the triumphs and failures of this controversial period. His own career at the heart of British politics gives a perspective on the crucial political decisions of the last decade and a half, from infighting within the cabinet to educational reform.
