A slice of the lives of four fabulous women who love their work, their men, and their wine. Their adventures span the North American continent from Toronto to California and the Caribbean. Their lives are struck with comedy and tragedybut mostly comedy. Come take a trip with the Corksuckers!
The Care and Feeding of a Non-Profit Exec. is the companion piece to the author's first book The Care and Feeding of a Non-Profit Board. Together these two books will help guide staff and board alike of any sized non-profit agency from very small to very large. This book will help the non-profit staffer through the process of climbing the ladder to the top spot in your organization from your first interview with the board to knowing when it's time to move on.
In Twilight in Vienna, first published in its English translation in 1938, Austrian-British journalist Willi Frischauer examines the sociological aspects, the reign of poverty, the lack of jobs, the morass of debt and financial chaos, and the lust for luxurious indulgence— all of which led up to revolutionary ideas, militarization, and finally a reactionary government. Frischauer addresses the decline of moral values and the prevalence of predatory love—a crime wave extending into all spheres. The final chapters deal with Dollfuss' and Schuschnigg's fight against dictatorship. Drawing on a vast amount of material, cases and documentation, the book paints a tragic picture of the decline of a great country. “A good first hand reportorial job, written with emotion [...], and giving an inside picture of the conditions and mores of Austria.”—Kirkus Review
The goal of this book is to introduce the reader to methodologies in recovery problems for objects, such as functions and signals, from partial or indirect information. The recovery of objects from a set of data demands key solvers of inverse and sampling problems. Until recently, connections between the mathematical areas of inverse problems and sampling were rather tenuous. However, advances in several areas of mathematical research have revealed deep common threads between them, which proves that there is a serious need for a unifying description of the underlying mathematical ideas and concepts. Freeden and Nashed present an integrated approach to resolution methodologies from the perspective of both these areas. Researchers in sampling theory will benefit from learning about inverse problems and regularization methods, while specialists in inverse problems will gain a better understanding of the point of view of sampling concepts. This book requires some basic knowledge of functional analysis, Fourier theory, geometric number theory, constructive approximation, and special function theory. By avoiding extreme technicalities and elaborate proof techniques, it is an accessible resource for students and researchers not only from applied mathematics, but also from all branches of engineering and science.
