This practical textbook by David Moore and William Notz introduces
a conceptual approach to statistics and shows students how use
these ideas to think about the statistical claims they see every
day from polls, campaigns, advertising, public policy, and many
different fields of study. The ultimate goal is to equip students
with solid statistical reasoning skills that will help them
understand impact of statistics on all aspects of their lives.
This book offers historical and state-of-the-art molecular
spectroscopy methods and applications in dynamic compression
science, aimed at the upcoming generation in physical sciences
involved in studies of materials at extremes. It begins with
addressing the motivation for probing shock compressed molecular
materials with spectroscopy and then reviews historical
developments and the basics of the various spectroscopic methods
that have been utilized. Introductory chapters are devoted to
fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy, overviews of dynamic
compression technologies, and diagnostics used to quantify the
shock compression state during spectroscopy experiments. Subsequent
chapters describe all the molecular spectroscopic methods used in
shock compression research to date, including theory, experimental
details for application to shocked materials, and difficulties that
can be encountered. Each of these chapters also includes a section
comparing static compression results. The last chapter offers an
outlook for the future, which leads the next-generation readers to
tackling persistent problems.

Why do we grow up to look, act, and feel as we do? Through most of
the twentieth century, scientists and laypeople answered this
question by referring to two factors alone: our experiences and our
genes. But recent discoveries about how genes work have revealed a
new way to understand the developmental origins of our
characteristics. These discoveries have emerged from the new
science of behavioral epigenetics-and just as the whole world has
now heard of DNA, "epigenetics" will be a household word in the
near future. Behavioral epigenetics is important because it
explains how our experiences get under our skin and influence the
activity of our genes. Because of breakthroughs in this field, we
now know that the genes we're born with don't determine if we'll
end up easily stressed, likely to fall ill with cancer, or
possessed of a powerful intellect. Instead, what matters is what
our genes do. And because research in behavioral epigenetics has
shown that our experiences influence how our genes function, this
work has changed how scientists think about nature, nurture, and
human development. Diets, environmental toxins, parenting styles,
and other environmental factors all influence genetic activity
through epigenetic mechanisms; this discovery has the potential to
alter how doctors treat diseases, and to change how mental health
professionals treat conditions from schizophrenia to post-traumatic
stress disorder. These advances could also force a reworking of the
theory of evolution that dominated twentieth-century biology, and
even change how we think about human nature itself. In spite of the
importance of this research, behavioral epigenetics is still
relatively unknown to non-biologists. The Developing Genome is an
introduction to this exciting new discipline; it will allow readers
without a background in biology to learn about this work and its
revolutionary implications.
