The Knight Life is a hilariously twisted view of life through the eyes and pen of its creator, community-oriented urban hipster and award-winning cartoonist Keith Knight. The Knight Life deftly blends political insight and neurotic humor in a uniquely fluid and dynamic style, offering a comic strip that's fresh, sharp, topical and funny. Designed for daily newspapers, The Knight Life follows Knight's long-running, 2007 Harvey Award-winning weekly comic strip "The K Chronicles," which appears on salon.com. An unabashedly provocative political and social satire, The Knight Life tackles contemporary issues like consumer culture, bacon, the media, race, family and everything else, gently mocking the minutiae of daily life with self-deprecating humor, honesty and goofiness-a combination that's perfect for the comics. And The Knight Life's energetic style reminds readers that comics can look funny as well as read funny. The result is accessible yet edgy, compassionate and political-and never preachy. Cartoonist and comic historian R.C. Harvey said, "The Knight Life is undeniably the best new laugh- and thought-provoker on the comics page. Not since Calvin and Hobbes has there been so novel an entertainment in the funnies."

Traditional texts in mathematical statistics can seem - to some readers-heavily weighted with optimality theory of the various flavors developed in the 1940s and50s, and not particularly relevant to statistical practice. Mathematical Statistics stands apart from these treatments. While mathematically rigorous, its focus is on providing a set of useful tools that allow students to understand the theoretical underpinnings of statistical methodology. The author concentrates on inferential procedures within the framework of parametric models, but - acknowledging that models are often incorrectly specified - he also views estimation from a non-parametric perspective. Overall, Mathematical Statistics places greater emphasis on frequentist methodology than on Bayesian, but claims no particular superiority for that approach. It does emphasize, however, the utility of statistical and mathematical software packages, and includes several sections addressing computational issues. The result reaches beyond "nice" mathematics to provide a balanced, practical text that brings life and relevance to a subject so often perceived as irrelevant and dry.

There exist two blatant contradictions which roughly ninety-nine percent of 
intellectuals, journalists, and voters erroneously believe. 
On the one hand, they say that the free market must be regulated in 
order to prevent monopolies. It is assumed that these monopolies would 
have such great power over the market that their customers would be 
forced to settle for products far more expensive than, and inferior to, those 
that would be offered under competitive market conditions. On the other 
hand, these intellectuals, journalists, and voters explicitly advocate that one 
group (government) monopolize the money supply, policing, courts, 
taxation, legislation, compulsory education, and a myriad of other things 
that we may consider to be vitally important. 
Second, the vast majority of people recognize the moral legitimacy of the 
biblical commandments “Thou Shalt Not Steal” and “Thou Shalt Not 
Murder.” Yet, when it comes to the practices of taxation and war, these 
principles are blatantly disregarded by almost everyone. If taxation is not 
theft, why can only governments do such a thing? Why not simply allow all 
organizations, companies, clubs, churches, or individuals to issue taxes? 
It should therefore come as no surprise that governments are infamous 
for delivering poor quality. Imagine a restaurant where you had to pay 
regardless of whether they brought food to your table. 
Likewise, war is simply a euphemism for theft-funded mass murder, a 
blatant crime that we would never dismiss if non-government actors were to 
engage in it. 
What if justice required us not to have double standards? This book 
seeks to dispel the belief that morality applies differently to government 
employees. If it is immoral for me to do something — say, conscript people 
to perform labor against their will — how can I justifiably vote for a 
representative to do such a thing on my behalf? 
Many real criticisms apply to the free market: greed, envy, dog-eat-dog 
mentalities, short-sightedness, etc. The problem with all of those criticisms 
is that they apply many times over to the state, since, by definition, the state 
does not face competition and one cannot opt out of funding it. While voluntarily 
funded competing organizations may have shortcomings, they are preferable 
to the coercively funded monopolies of the state. 
The following collection of essays, excerpts, and quotes has given me the 
intellectual capacity to stop hating people based on arbitrary differences and 
to focus on what really matters. Should I achieve my ends in life violently 
with threats, or voluntarily with persuasion? 
The corporate press will explicitly seek to divide people of goodwill 
based on gender, income, race, nationality, and any numerous other 
interchangeable sources of division to suit their agenda. No longer should 
we tolerate such an obvious scam. 
These passages, which can be read in any order, are what convinced me 
to abandon statism and embrace voluntaryism.

.html by Keith Knight Described as a combination of Calvin &amp; Hobbes and underground comix! The K Chronicles is a semi-autobiographical comic strip by cartoonist/rapper Keith Knight that appears weekly on Salon.com and in many other fine publications (like the Pacific Sun, Las Vegas Mercury, Funny Times, and more). The strip is an unabashedly provocative mix of political and social satire; tackling such touchy subjects as racism, violence, and sex with a self-deprecating humor, personal honesty, and light-hearted goofiness rarely found in a newspaper comic. The result is accessible yet subversive, compassionate and political, without being preachy. This collection features over one hundred K Chronicles strips, plus some multi-page stories and strips that have never before seen print SC, 6x7, 128pg, b&amp;w
