Stochastic systems provide powerful abstract models for a variety of important real-life applications: for example, power supply, traffic flow, data transmission. They (and the real systems they model) are often subject to phase transitions, behaving in one way when a parameter is below a certain critical value, then switching behaviour as soon as that critical value is reached. In a real system, we do not necessarily have control over all the parameter values, so it is important to know how to find critical points and to understand system behaviour near these points. This book is a modern presentation of the 'semimartingale' or 'Lyapunov function' method applied to near-critical stochastic systems, exemplified by non-homogeneous random walks. Applications treat near-critical stochastic systems and range across modern probability theory from stochastic billiards models to interacting particle systems. Spatially non-homogeneous random walks are explored in depth, as they provide prototypical near-critical systems.

(Applause Books). How do we enter the heightened, extravagant language of Shakespeare and yet feel truthful in our contemporary world? How do performers excite the audience with Shakespeare's rich imagery and dynamic rhythm, yet make it real for the twenty-first century? We assume that a sophisticated intellectual background is required to grapple with Shakespeare. But there is a much deeper, almost primal response as available to inner-city students as to their counterparts in the private school to the sound and rhythm in Shakespeare's language which arouses our emotions: feelings of anger and sorrow, of passion and laughter. This landmark five-part video series gives voice to Shakespeare's most beloved and widely known speeches and sonnets, performed by a powerhouse ensemble of American and British actors, as they delve into the structure, meaning and power of Shakespeare's language. Each DVD explores a different aspect of Shakespeare's work.

Everyone loves Easter! The Easter Bunny brings candy and hides eggs, the very meaning of Easter, right? Not exactly. An Easter Bunny's Easter is a story that blends both the true meaning of Easter with the fun of the Easter Bunny. Follow Easter Bunnies Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Cottontail, Ms. Hare, and Captain Buck as they prepare for Easter. After boasting about who was the best Easter Bunny, a little reminder about Easter's true meaning was more than enough to get our Easter Bunnies talking about Easter's true meaning. "Easter is a glorious celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He died for the world's sins, was buried, and then three days later rose from the dead. Victoriously!" A lovely tale that blends all of what Easter has to offer into one story that children and parents will both enjoy.
