In the seventeenth century, Veracruz was the busiest port in the
wealthiest colony in the Americas. People and goods from five
continents converged in the city, inserting it firmly into the
early modern world's largest global networks. Nevertheless,
Veracruz never attained the fame or status of other Atlantic ports.
Veracruz and the Caribbean in the Seventeenth Century is the first
English-language, book-length study of early modern Veracruz.
Weaving elements of environmental, social, and cultural history, it
examines both Veracruz's internal dynamics and its external
relationships. Chief among Veracruz's relationships were its close
ties within the Caribbean. Emphasizing relationships of small-scale
trade and migration between Veracruz and Caribbean cities like
Havana, Santo Domingo, and Cartagena, Veracruz and the Caribbean
shows how the city's residents - especially its large African and
Afro-descended communities - were able to form communities and
define identities separate from those available in the Mexican
mainland.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME..." Slipped under the door of her Georgetown home, the note was an ominous reminder of Pat Traymore's past. The beautiful young television journalist had come to glamorous, high-powered Washington to produce a TV series. Her subject: Senator Abigail Jennings, slated for nomination as the first woman vice president of the United States. With the help of an old flame, Congresman Sam Kingsley, Pat delves into Abigail's life, only to turn up horrifying facts that threaten to destroy senator's reputation and her career. Worse still, sinister connections to Pat's own childhood and the nightmare secrets hidden within are surfacing -- secrets waiting to destroy her.
A concise, introductory text, Propensity Score Methods and
Applications describes propensity score methods (PSM) and how they
are used to balance the distributions of observed covariates
between treatment conditions as a means to reduce selection bias.
This new QASS title specifically focuses on the procedures of
implementing PSM for research in social sciences, instead of merely
demonstrating the effectiveness of the method. Using succinct and
approachable language to introduce the basic concepts of PSM,
authors Haiyan Bai and M. H. Clark present basic concepts,
assumptions, procedures, available software packages, and
step-by-step examples for implementing PSM using real-world data,
with exercises at the end of each chapter allowing readers to
replicate examples on their own.
