Continuing to develop statistical concepts using real data, the
Fourth Edition features intriguing examples from medicine,
business, genetics, economics, law, psychology, and other fields.
Most of the numbers have been updated for the Fourth Edition. There
are new results from the 2000 census, the 2004 Gallup Poll, the
2005 Current Population Survey, and more.
A long time ago I started writing a book about Markov chains,
Brownian motion, and diffusion. I soon had two hundred pages of
manuscript and my publisher was enthusiastic. Some years and
several drafts later, I had a thot: sand pages of manuscript, and
my publisher was less enthusiastic. So we made it a trilogy: Markov
Chains Brownian Motion and Diffusion Approximating Countable Markov
Chains familiarly - Me, B & D, and ACM. I wrote the first two
books for beginning graduate students with some knowledge of
probability; if you can follow Sections 3.4 to 3.9 of Brownian
Motion and Diffusion you're in. The first two books are quite
independent of one another, and completely independent of the
third. This last book is a monograph, which explains one way to
think about chains with instantaneous states. The results in it are
supposed to be new, except where there are spe cific disclaimers;
it's written in the framework of Markov Chains. Most of the proofs
in the trilogy are new, and I tried hard to make them explicit. The
old ones were often elegant, but I seldom saw what made them go.
With my own, I can sometimes show you why things work. And, as I
will argue in a minute, my demonstrations are easier technically.
If I wrote them down well enough, you may come to agree."

Beautifully illustrated on every page in dramatic detail, Stunt
Crow will excite young children and adults alike.It is film-like. A
glimpse above the clouds. A new manga for the oldest of subjects.
Stunt Crow is the story of one crow on one day. A literal bird's
eye view of avian acrobatics. Nature in its clearest magical
beauty, wild and fast moving. Scenes that would be familiar to the
first humans, unchanged and ever present. This is a story for
children and adults. For anyone who looks up at the sky and
especially for those who don't. This is a fresh look at nature, an
alternative to talking rabbits, singing frogs, happy dogs and cats
with hats, though we love all the above. Stunt Crow shows that
sometimes nature doesn't need dressing up and that if we stand and
stare, we can find wonder there.
This is a new release of the original 1928 edition.

A giant in the history of American entertainment, Eddie Cantor
(1892-1964) won over the American public time and time again, first
on stage, bowling audiences over in the Ziegfeld Follies, then in
films, on the radio, and on television. His career ran from
Vaudeville to video making all stops in between. A tireless person
even when not on the stage, Cantor helped found the March of Dimes,
and was the first national president of the Screen Actor's Guild
(SAG), the American Federation of Radio Artists (later AFTRA), and
the Jewish Theatrical Guild. Yet another medium in which Cantor
succeeded was print. He authored and co-authored several books that
upheld his standing as one of America's leading comedians. My Life
Is In Your Hands & Take My Life combines for the first time in
a single volume two memoirs written in 1928 and 1957, in which
Eddie remembers his beginnings as an orphan on the Lower East Side
and his hard-won climb from poverty to the bright lights of
Broadway. The book also contains a lost chapter in which Eddie
recalls his reactions to the stock market crash of 1929, along with
a new complete index, discography, and filmography. In My Life Is
In Your Hands & Take My Life, Cantor's humor is as sharp as
ever and his sentiment is 100% genuine. While not at all modest
about his decades of public adoration, Cantor shows a willingness
to laugh at his blunders (such as his second film, "Special
Delivery"), and to praise the many talented people with whom he
collaborated. Along with telling the story of show business in the
first half of the 20th century, Cantor also lets readers in on fond
stories of his friends, from Jimmy Durante (who worked as a pianist
in the Coney Island restaurant where Cantor was a singing waiter),
to Ziegfeld alumni Will Rogers and W. C. Fields, to fellow
entertainers Clara Bow and Fanny Brice.
