Winston Churchill rages against time and his own mortality, in
conflict with friend and foe alike, in this tumultuous political
drama about his last ten years of public life.
"Churchill Defiant" is a gripping, fast-paced narrative of
bare-knuckle politics, of life-and-death decisions, of old grudges
and fresh blame.
This is Churchill in close-up--a vivid, deeply poignant
portrait of the great man at his most maddening and devious, but
also at his most human and defiant.
Drawing from recently declassified top-secret material, as well as revelatory eyewitness accounts, Secret Service records, and Jacqueline Kennedy's personal letters, bestselling biographer Barbara Leaming answers the question: what was it like to be Mrs. John F. Kennedy during the dramatic thousand days of the Kennedy presidency? Brilliantly researched, Leaming's poignant and powerful chronicle illuminates the tumultuous day-to-day life of a woman who entered the White House at age thirty-one, seven years into a complex and troubled marriage, and left at thirty-four after her husband's assassination. Revealing the full story of the interplay of sex and politics in Washington, Mrs. Kennedy will indelibly challenge our vision of this fascinating woman, and bring a new perspective to her crucial role in the Kennedy presidency.

The need for analytics skills is a source of the burgeoning growth
in the number of analytics and decision science programs in higher
education developed to feed the need for capable employees in this
area. The very size and continuing growth of this need means that
there is still space for new program development. Schools wishing
to pursue business analytics programs intentionally assess the
maturity level of their programs and take steps to close the gap.
Teaching Data Analytics: Pedagogy and Program Design is a reference
for faculty and administrators seeking direction about adding or
enhancing analytics offerings at their institutions. It provides
guidance by examining best practices from the perspectives of
faculty and practitioners. By emphasizing the connection of data
analytics to organizational success, it reviews the position of
analytics and decision science programs in higher education, and to
review the critical connection between this area of study and
career opportunities. The book features: A variety of perspectives
ranging from the scholarly theoretical to the practitioner applied
An in-depth look into a wide breadth of skills from closely
technology-focused to robustly soft human connection skills
Resources for existing faculty to acquire and maintain additional
analytics-relevant skills that can enrich their current course
offerings. Acknowledging the dichotomy between data analytics and
data science, this book emphasizes data analytics rather than data
science, although the book does touch upon the data science realm.
Starting with industry perspectives, the book covers the applied
world of data analytics, covering necessary skills and
applications, as well as developing compelling visualizations. It
then dives into pedagogical and program design approaches in data
analytics education and concludes with ideas for program design
tactics. This reference is a launching point for discussions about
how to connect industry's need for skilled data analysts to higher
education's need to design a rigorous curriculum that promotes
student critical thinking, communication, and ethical skills. It
also provides insight into adding new elements to existing data
analytics courses and for taking the next step in adding data
analytics offerings, whether it be incorporating additional
analytics assignments into existing courses, offering one course
designed for undergraduates, or an integrated program designed for
graduate students.

This classic text, which contains the complete Greek text of the
"Apology" and of "Crito" with other selections, offers an
introduction to Plato's language as well as an introduction to
Socrates as presented by Plato. These two goals determined Lewis
Leaming Forman's ample selection of passages from the writings of
Plato.
Forman's detailed and helpful notes enhance appreciation of how
Greek prose--particularly Plato's--produces its effects. They
include helpful discussions of syntax, the uses of particles, the
effects of word order, and rhetorical devices. Forman also includes
an appendix with an additional set of notes containing information
chiefly on various syntactic patterns in the Greek language.
Particularly suitable for second-, third-, or fourth-year students
of Greek, this volume is also a useful resource for the Platonic
scholar.
This guide is intended to show some of the much-prized rocks and
minerals of the northwest. Some are valued for their beauty when
cut and polished. Others are prized for the economic value of the
metals they contain, such as copper in chalcopyrite, or of some
physical property of the mineral itself, such as the fibrous nature
of asbestos. Still other minerals are valued for their crystal
form, or, simply as examples of the great diversity in the mineral
kingdom.
