This volume presents fascinating new theoretical perspectives and empirical findings on the life-span development of talent. It shows how talents are the result of the acquisition of a sequence of skills and how the acquisition of these skills is facilitated by changes in the individual's environment. It explores to what degree the development of high intelligence or achievement is similar to the development of specific domains such as personality, morality, painting, musical performance, or professional skills. It questions whether the development of talent observed for specific groups is similar to individual cases and how the different numbers of highly talented women and men in several domains are to be explained.

This landmark research volume provides the first detailed history
of entrepreneurship in Britain from the nineteenth century to the
present. Using a remarkable new database of more than nine million
entrepreneurs, it gives new understanding to the development of
Britain as the world's 'first industrial nation'. Based on the
first long-term whole-population analysis of British small
business, it uses novel methods to identify from the 10-yearly
population census the two to four million people per year who
operated businesses in the period 1851-1911. Using big data
analytics, it reveals how British businesses evolved over time,
supplementing the census-derived data on individuals with other
sources on companies and business histories. By comparing to modern
data, it reveals how the late-Victorian period was a 'golden age'
for smaller and medium-sized business, driven by family firms, the
accelerating participation of women and the increasing use of
incorporation as significant vehicles for development. A unique
resource and citation for future research on entrepreneurship, of
crucial significance to economic development policies for small
business around the world, and above all the key entry point for
researchers to the database which is deposited at the UK Data
Archive, this major publication will change our understanding of
the scale and economic significance of small businesses in the
nineteenth century.

Theory of Spatial Statistics: A Concise Introduction presents the
most important models used in spatial statistics, including random
fields and point processes, from a rigorous mathematical point of
view and shows how to carry out statistical inference. It contains
full proofs, real-life examples and theoretical exercises.
Solutions to the latter are available in an appendix. Assuming
maturity in probability and statistics, these concise lecture notes
are self-contained and cover enough material for a semester course.
They may also serve as a reference book for researchers. Features*
Presents the mathematical foundations of spatial statistics. *
Contains worked examples from mining, disease mapping, forestry,
soil and environmental science, and criminology. * Gives pointers
to the literature to facilitate further study. * Provides example
code in R to encourage the student to experiment. * Offers
exercises and their solutions to test and deepen understanding. The
book is suitable for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate
students in mathematics and statistics.
Mathematical Methods for Signal and Image Analysis and
Representation presents the mathematical methodology for generic
image analysis tasks. In the context of this book an image may be
any m-dimensional empirical signal living on an n-dimensional
smooth manifold (typically, but not necessarily, a subset of
spacetime). The existing literature on image methodology is rather
scattered and often limited to either a deterministic or a
statistical point of view. In contrast, this book brings together
these seemingly different points of view in order to stress their
conceptual relations and formal analogies. Furthermore, it does not
focus on specific applications, although some are detailed for the
sake of illustration, but on the methodological frameworks on which
such applications are built, making it an ideal companion for those
seeking a rigorous methodological basis for specific algorithms as
well as for those interested in the fundamental methodology per se.
Covering many topics at the forefront of current research,
including anisotropic diffusion filtering of tensor fields, this
book will be of particular interest to graduate and postgraduate
students and researchers in the fields of computer vision, medical
imaging and visual perception.

This is a witty, charmingly illustrated story about a friendship
between two bears and a birthday party they'd rather avoid. Gus and
Boris are best friends. One day Gus confides that he feels gloomy
because his birthday is coming and he's not looking forward to the
party his family is planning for him. "My family always throws the
worst parties, " Gus explains. Boris suggests that they skip the
party and go fishing instead, and that is what they do.
Surprisingly, everyone is happy: the family celebrates Gus's
birthday, barely noticing his absence, and Gus and Boris have a
lovely day fishing on the river.

Winter is lasting forever, the vegetable garden is barren, and
Lila is hungry. All she needs to make it through the winter is some
flour for baking bread. she makes a wish on a falling star. It
works! Luckily, each time the bread is gone, another star falls.
Someone else might have wished for an elaborate feast or
extravagant clothes, but not Lila--at least not until her birthday.
That's when she will make a very special wish.
