A long-standing, best-selling, comprehensive textbook covering all the mathematics required on upper level engineering mathematics undergraduate courses. Its unique approach takes you through all the mathematics you need in a step-by-step fashion with a wealth of examples and exercises. The text demands that you engage with it by asking you to complete steps that you should be able to manage from previous examples or knowledge you have acquired, while carefully introducing new steps. By working with the authors through the examples, you become proficient as you go. By the time you come to trying examples on their own, confidence is high. Suitable for undergraduates in second and third year courses on engineering and science degrees.
There has been a rapid introduction of nucleic acid-based analysis techniques into diagnostic laboratories and routine screening procedures. This timely book presents a concise overview of the molecular diagnosis of human disease. It focuses on the techn
The author applies modified versions of pre-modern philosophy (including Aristotle and Aquinas) to psychiatry, arguing that the work of the Aristotelian philosopher, Christian and former Marxist, Alasdair MacIntyre is ideally placed to bring about a transformation of psychiatry from its current captivity to the modern scientific technical paradigm.
In the last two decades, there has been a significant shift in thinking and in the approach taken to actuarial practice: moving from deterministic methods (with implicit or explicit margins to protect against variability) to fully stochastic methods. Important international developments are currently being made in actuarial education, with radical changes being implemented in Australia and North America, and evolutionary changes planned in the UK. At the same time, the Consultative Group of Actuarial Associations within the EU and the International Forum of Actuarial Associations are both actively considering the international harmonization of professional qualifications. Modern Actuarial Theory and Practice matches the philosophy of those international developments, and the manner in which actuarial qualifications are changing and are likely to continue to change. It describes the traditional areas of actuarial activity with an emphasis on the fundamental principles, as well as the economic, financial, and statistical foundations of actuarial theory and practice. Information is presented in five interconnected sections: Investment Life Insurance General Insurance Pensions Actuarial Models which can be read separately or taken as part of the integrated whole. This text will be an invaluable aid for final-year undergraduates, MSc students, research students preparing for an MPhil or Ph. D degree, and to student actuaries preparing for the professional actuarial examinations of a number of professional bodies. Practicing actuaries will also find this a useful guide to current methodologies and models.
A beautifully packaged treasure, this book combines humor, words of wisdom, and touching stories to celebrate the traits of grandparents that make us love them so.
When she found out that her daughter, Mindy, was going to have a child, Carolyn Booth also discovered that just about everyone has a story about how their grandparents came to be called by their "grandparently" nicknames. This book collects those stories and provides anecdotes, quotes, and lists for grandparents to be. Illustrations.
James Booth reads Philip Larkin's mature poetry in terms of his ambiguous self-image as lonely, anti-social outsider, plighted to his art, and as nine-to-five librarian, sharing the common plight of humanity. Booth's focus is on Larkin's artistry with words, the 'verbal devices' through which this purest of lyric poets celebrates 'the experience. The beauty.' Featuring discussion for the first time of two recently discovered poems by Larkin, this original and exciting new study will be of interest to all students, scholars and enthusiasts of Larkin.

This introduction to British literature from 1900-2021 looks at British writing from the perspective of the 2016 Brexit vote and its seismic repercussions. The book covers a wide variety of British literature in order to expose the cultural and political history of Britain, its repeated challenges and highly class-bound, patriarchal structure. British Writing from Empire to Brexit: Writing, Identity and Nation offers a stark view of what British culture has come to represent and the repercussions. Not shying away from discussions around imperialism, nationalism and racism, Robert Spencer, Howard J. Booth and Anastasia Valassopoulos offer a radical deconstruction of what Britishness can, and should, mean, promoting a convincing and accessible way to rethink the texts and field. The authors analyse novels, poetry and prose which amplify the dissentient and dissident perspectives of women, gender non-conforming and queer authors as well as the varied viewpoints and insights of working-class, immigrant, postcolonial, Black and Asian writers, showing how these works open up post-national futures after empire and after Brexit. Ultimately offering a model to rescue Britain from its current crises and anxieties, this book is an essential read for anyone approaching the study of British literature and culture, as well as those working on postcolonial studies, decolonisation, recent British history and politics, or with an interest in empire and Brexit.

Life is hard. We all suffer. We have all been hurt and have hurt others. Many of us are tired and, above all, lonely. We often feel like wanderers in a desert. There must be more to life. More joy, more safety, more significance, more friends, more help, more God. But those things are hard to find. We feel like we should be living in a land of abundance, but we actually live in a land of scarcity-a world that doesn't feel like a home fit for humans. We are all travelers in this wilderness. Sojourners in a strange land. Or, in the words of the Apostle Peter, "exiles dispersed abroad." At the same time we are also, "chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient and to be sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ." So we are wanderers but not lost. Exiles, but not without a promised land. Lost children, but not orphans. We are homeless, but not truly without a home. We're just not home yet. This book is for every weary heart in search of a home. For every person who longs to find an oasis in this desert and to share it with friends. This book is for every anxious, tired, and lonely person searching for a deep and abiding connection with the one true source of all things, Jesus. And it's for every person who, once that connection is established, wants to create oases for others and help them connect with Jesus more intimately. Part theory and part practical advice, Brandon and Liv first gently and compassionately help the reader find an oasis with Jesus-the God of compassion and grace-and then offer simple instructions for helping others find the same through the incarnate grace of hospitality.
Experts from all ages are cited to illuminate a step journey for the average seeker. This new edition can bring anyone into a time-proven self-realization.

The purpose or this study was to examine socioeconomic status (SES) of recruits in the Army and Marine Corps and to analyze the relationship between a recruit's SES background and his or her performance in the military over time. Data for this study were obtained from three sources: the Department of Defense Survey of Recruit Socioeconomic Backgrounds (SES survey), Military Entrance Processing Command enlisted cohort files, and personnel data files provided by the Army and Marine Corps. After merging these data files, the SES survey respondents were tracked longitudinally, and several analyses were undertaken to assess the relationship between SES and performance in the military. The results of this research show that recruits in both services come from slightly lower SES backgrounds than do youths in the general population; and, most of this difference can be explained by the fact that soldiers and Marines are consistently underrepresented in the highest measures or correlates of SES and overrepresented in the lowest ones. Additionally, it was found that, while SES is not a strong predictor of first-term enlisted attrition in either service, it does explain differences in recruits' performance on-the-job in the Marine Corps. Further research is recommended, especially that which incorporates supervisors' ratings of military performance.
