Statistics for Physical Sciences is an informal, relatively short, but systematic, guide to the more commonly used ideas and techniques in statistical analysis, as used in physical sciences, together with explanations of their origins. It steers a path between the extremes of a recipe of methods with a collection of useful formulas, and a full mathematical account of statistics, while at the same time developing the subject in a logical way. The book can be read in its entirety by anyone with a basic exposure to mathematics at the level of a first-year undergraduate student of physical science and should be useful for practising physical scientists, plus undergraduate and postgraduate students in these fields.

This is a literary thriller, a psychological drama about good and evil that explores confused sexuality and describes the intricate game of love in the contemporary world. It exposes the lives of six people who attend a school in Oxford either as student or teacher. The narrator of the story, a middle-aged man of means, is almost as enigmatic as his subject, North, a strange, elegant, charismatic Anglo-American youth. The handsome, precocious North begins a three-way relationship between himself, a beautiful 27 year-old woman teacher, and a young married, but bisexual, head of Physics who is good-looking, athletic, and evangelically Christian. As the novel proceeds in various settings, Oxford, London, Ravello, Washington DC, a confidential intimacy evolves between the narrator and North and the suspense mounts as North reveals his plans for systematic seduction. The players in the game of love become entangled in sexual anarchy that accelerates the novel towards its decisive, cataclysmic climax. At the end there is an abiding mystery and an acute sense of potent evil. The reader is left wondering if there have been certain moral imperatives that have made the narrator tell less than the whole truth.

How might the entire citizenry of a country make the decisions that affect them? Carson and Martin provide the first accessible and comprehensive overview of random selection as a possible process for transforming our modern political systems. Building on the theoretical work of the likes of John Burnheim and Fred Emery and drawing on their own work with social action groups, they outline a set of methods that go beyond the mere tapping of community opinion to reveal not only preferences but a more active role in creating the community.
Random selection, as Carson and Martin show, has been used in community participation in short-term decision making and long-term planning. It can be a powerful tool in the development of local, federal, and international policy. An important and innovative look at government decision making, this will be of primary interest to scholars and researchers in political theory and electoral systems, as well as political activists and reformers.

A Story about a normal teen boy who stumbles on one of two mythological swords once belonging to a powerful ancient God. The sword gives him Superhuman abilities nothing ever experienced by anyone on the planet. But danger rises when an Evil God known as Solaro finds out of the last sword being found; which he wants for himself. After waiting for centuries, Solaro now has the last sword in his grasp; but it is a fight to the finish to make sure this last sword does not get into the wrong hands. If it does, it could mean the end of the World; and perhaps the universe.

Few groups of birds are more appropriately named than wildfowl, for they inhabit our wildest coasts and few remaining wilderness areas. Yet most of the 38 species described in detail in this book are also widely familiar, as they have been closely involved in our art, literature and sport for many centuries. From the ubiquitous mallard, quacking tamely on the village pond, to the skeins of wild geese heading south in the autumn, they have inspired painters, wildfowlers and birdwatchers alike. Some have adapted well to 20th-century life, but others have declined greatly as marshes have been drained and disturbance has increased. This book documents their story. The account of each species begins with a close look at the bird's history and conservation, to which are added current details of distribution and population, and sections on habitat, identification, behaviour, breeding, food and migration. In addition to the main accounts of the species which breed regularly in north-west Europe, there are notes on the vagrants - those irregularly-occurring rarities which always set the birdwatchers' grapevine buzzing. There is also an introductory chapter which discusses the fascinating relationship between wildfowl and man. The text is complemented by specially-commissioned paintings by Alastair Proud of all the birds described, together with photographs and silhouettes. The author's other books include "Sporting Birds of the British Isles" and "Birds of Prey of the British Isles".
