Practical Handbook of Curve Fitting is a reference work assembled
by Arlinghaus and a set of editors with well over a century of
combined experience in various disciplines and activities related
to curve fitting. The book demonstrates how to analyze World data
bases and graph and map the results. Default settings in software
packages can produce attractive graphs of data imported into the
software. Often, however, the default graph has no equation
associated with it and cannot therefore be used as a tool for
further analysis or projection of the data. The same software can
often be used to generate curves from equations. The reader is
shown directly, and in a series of steps, how to fit curves to data
using Lotus 1-2-3. There are traditional unbounded curve fitting
techniques-lines of least squares, exponentials, logistic curves,
and Gompertz curves. There is the bounded curve fitting technique
of cubic spline interpolation. Beyond these, there is a detailed
application of Feigenbaum's graphical analysis from chaos theory,
and there is a hint as to how fractal geometry might come into
play. Curve fitting algorithms take on new life when they are
actually used on real-world data. They are used in numerous worked
examples drawn from electronic data bases of public domain
information from the Stars data base of The World Bank and from the
WRD data base of the World Resources Institute. The applications
are current and reflect a state-of-the-art interest in the human
dimensions of global change.

Drawing on research in men's long-term, maximum-security prisons,
this book examines three interconnected problems: the tendency of
the prison to obscure other social problems and conceal its own
failings, the pursuit of greater levels of human security through
repressive and violent means and the persistence of the belief in
the problem of 'evil'.

A companion volume to Drake's Intellectuals and Politics in
Post-War France (2002), French Intellectuals from the Dreyfus
Affair to the Occupation traces the political positions adopted by
French writers and artists from the end of the 19th century to the
Liberation. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary
sources, it offers a clear and accessible analysis of the
intellectuals' engagement with nationalism, pacifism, communism,
anti-communism, surrealism, fascism and anti-fascism, which is
located within the evolving national and international context of
the period.

"This is exactly the kind of book the field needs - it is very
insightful, theoretically grounded and immensely practical. The
hands-on usefulness is exceeded only by its rigor and readability.
It is rare to find a book that is useful on multiple levels. The
Philosophy and Practice of Coaching is quite brilliant. Thank you
for bringing it into the world! I found it helpful for my practice
as well as my teaching and writing. This book will be a springboard
for taking your coaching work to the next level of excellence." --
Carol Kauffman
"This is an important book for many reasons. The opening chapter
sets coaching in its psychological context perfectly. The
theoretical history and underpinning of different forms of
coaching, and the case study examples, provide a rich cornucopia
for the coach. It is a book to which I can and will refer to often,
as it is so relevant to so much." -- Sir John Whitmore
"The Philosophy and Practice of Coaching is a much needed
addition to the serious coaching literature. Its chapters identify
a stimulating range of very pertinent issues and challenges for
coaching, introducing as they go, new concepts, and expounding
emerging applications. The book more than meets its claim to
involve us in a 'deeper conversation. It is an inspiring read, with
the addition of some weighty coaching questions to involve readers
in the dialogue begun in the book and challenge them to think
deeply. Now isn't that what coaching is about?" -- Dr. Elaine
Cox
In one of "Common Sense"'s most ringing phrases, Thomas Paine
declared it "absurd" for "a continent to be perpetually governed by
an island." Such powerful words, coupled with powerful ideas,
helped spur the United States to independence.
In "The Nation's Nature, " James D. Drake examines how a
relatively small number of inhabitants of the Americas, huddled
along North America's east coast, came to mentally appropriate the
entire continent and to think of their nation as America. Drake
demonstrates how British North American colonists' participation in
scientific debates and imperial contests shaped their notions of
global geography. These ideas, in turn, solidified American
nationalism, spurred a revolution, and shaped the ratification of
the Constitution.

What did French intellectuals have to say about Gaullism, the Cold
War colonialism, the women's movement, and the events of May '68?
David Drake examines the political commitment of intellectuals in
France from Sartre and Camus to Bernard-Henri Levy and Bourdieu. In
this accessible study, he explores why there was a radical
reassessment of the intellectual's role in the mid 1970s-80s and
how a new generation engaged with Islam, racism, the Balkan Wars
and the strikes of 1995.
