With its application-oriented approach, the fifth EMEA edition of Statistics for Business and Economics teaches students the core concepts of statistics in the fields of business, management, and economics, with the needs of the non-mathematician in mind.
The authors interweave statistical methodology with applications of data analysis to enrich students’ understanding of how statistics underpin problem-solving and decision-making. Students develop a computational foundation and learn to use various techniques before moving on to statistical application and interpretation.
At the end of each section, exercises focus on computation and the use of formulas, while application exercises require students to apply what they have learnt to real-world problems.
America's most enduring hero, Jason Bourne, returns - with old skills and new plot twists - in an explosive addition to the Bourne adventures.
After the death of his wife in a mass shooting, secret agent Jason Bourne is convinced that there is more to her murder than it seems. Worse, he believes that the agency that trained him is behind the killing. Bourne goes rogue, leaving Treadstone behind and taking on a new mission to infiltrate and expose an anarchist group, Medusa. But when a congresswoman is assassinated in New York, Bourne is framed for the crime, and he finds himself alone and on the run. In his quest to stay one step ahead of his enemies, Bourne teams up with a journalist, Abbey Laurent, to figure out who was behind the frame-up, and to learn as much as he can about the ever-growing threat of the mysterious Medusa group.
As more and more enemies begin to hunt Bourne, it's a race against the clock to discover who led him into a trap... and what their next move may be.

Based on the New York Times bestselling book and the Academy
Award-nominated movie, author Margot Lee Shetterly and Coretta
Scott King Illustrator Honor Award winner Laura Freeman bring the
incredibly inspiring true story of four black women who helped NASA
launch men into space to picture book readers! Dorothy Vaughan,
Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at
math...really good. They participated in some of NASA's greatest
successes, like providing the calculations for America's first
journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black
and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They
persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world. In
this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the
story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known
as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial
barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career.
"Finally, the extraordinary lives of four African American women
who helped NASA put the first men in space is available for picture
book readers," proclaims Brightly in their article "18 Must-Read
Picture Books of 2018." "Will inspire girls and boys alike to love
math, believe in themselves, and reach for the stars."
With a focus on the 1980 Hague Convention, this cutting-edge
Research Handbook provides a holistic overview of the law on
international child abduction from prevention, through voluntary
agreements and Convention proceedings, to post-return and aftercare
issues. Analysing the repercussions of abduction from the
perspectives of both abducted children and the therapeutic
professionals engaged in their cases, chapters assess the
contributions of the many professionals and key agencies involved
in the field. Identifying the 1980 Hague Convention as the
principal global instrument for dealing with child abduction, the
Research Handbook traces its role, history, development and impact,
alongside the mechanisms required for its effective use. Evaluating
current trends, areas of concern in legal practice and various
regional initiatives, it considers alternatives to high-conflict
court proceedings in international child abduction cases. The
Convention’s strengths, successes, weaknesses and gaps are
discussed, and the Research Handbook concludes by addressing the
need to tackle the challenges in its future operation.
Interdisciplinary and accessible in approach, the contributions
from renowned subject specialists will prove useful to students and
scholars of human rights and family law, international law and the
intersections between law and gender studies, politics and
sociology. Its combination of research, policy and practice will be
of use to legal practitioners working in family law alongside NGOs
and central authorities working in the field.

Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.

What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful, what are the
consequences, and how do we combat misplaced mistrust? Professor
Daniel Freeman is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the
University of Oxford, a Consultant clinical psychologist and a
Fellow of The British Psychological Society. For fans of Quiet, Why
We Sleep and It’s All in Your Head, this is a book that uses case

can be linked to trauma, to sleep, to drug use, to other mental
illnesses, to conspiracy beliefs and relationships with authority
and other people – and its wider, subtle effects on us as a
society.

Featuring new work from Rebecca Makkai, Aleksandar Hemon, Rachel
Khong, Louise Erdrich, and more, the tenth and final installment of
the boundary-pushing literary journal Freeman's, which explores all
the ways of coming to an end Over the course of ten years,
Freeman's has introduced the English-speaking world to countless
writers of international import and acclaim, from Olga Tokarczuk to
Valeria Luiselli, while also spotlighting brilliant writers working
in English, from Tommy Orange to Tess Gunty. Now, in its last
issue, this unique literary project ponders all the ways of
reaching a fitting conclusion. For Sayaka Murata, keeping up with
the comings and goings of fashion and its changing emotional
landscapes can mean being left behind, while in her poem
"Amenorrhea," Julia Alvarez experiences the end of a line as
menstruation ceases. Yet sometimes an end is merely a beginning, as
Barry Lopez meditates while walking through the snowy Oregonian
landscapes. While Chinelo Okparanta's story "Fatu" confronts the
end of a relationship under the specter of new life, other writers
look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée
Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder,
comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to.
Finally, in his comic story "Everyone at Dinner Has a Max von Sydow
Story," Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories don't have neat
or clean endings--that sometimes the middle is enough. With new
writing from Sandra Cisneros, Colum McCann, Omar El Akkad, and
Mieko Kawakami, Freeman's: Conclusions is a testament to the
startling power of literature to conclude in a state of beauty,
fear, and promise.
