Imagine a statistics book for bioassays written by a statistician.
Next, imagine a statistics book for bioassays written for a layman.
Bioassays with Arthropods, Third Edition offers the best of both
worlds by translating the terse, precise language of the
statistician into language used by the laboratory scientist. The
book explains the statistical basis and analysis for each kind of
quantal response bioassay in just the right amount of detail. The
first two editions were a great reference for designing,
conducting, and interpreting bioassays: this completely revised and
updated third edition will also train the laboratory scientist to
be an expert in estimation of dose response curves. New in the
Third Edition: Introduces four new Windows and Apple-based computer
programs (PoloJR, OptiDose, PoloMixture and PoloMulti) for the
analyses of binary and multiple response analyses, respectively
Replaces out-of-date GLIM examples with R program samples Includes
a new chapter, Population Toxicology, and takes a systems approach
to bioassays Expands the coverage of invasive species and
quarantine statistics Building on the foundation set by the
much-cited first two editions, the authors clearly delineate
applications and ideas that are exceptionally challenging for those
not already familiar with their use. They lead you through the
methods with such ease and organization, that you suddenly find
yourself readily able to apply concepts that you never thought you
would understand. To order the PoloSuite computer software
described in Bioassays with Arthropods, Third Edition, use the

This book demonstrates how the multi-faceted nature of the concept
of identity makes its relationship with French language both
complex and unpredictable. It explores the 'institutionalised'
identity, regional identity, social identity and competing
identities in the French context.

This book explores the phenomenon of language change, with a
particular focus on the social contexts of its occurrence and its
possible motivations, including speakers' intentions and attitudes.
Using wide-ranging case studies presenting new or little-known
data, Jones and Singh draw a distinction between "unconscious" and
"deliberate" change. The discussion on "unconscious" change
considers phenomena such as the emergence and obsolescence of
individual languages, while the book also includes detailed
discussion on "deliberate" change, traditionally marginalised in
favour of explorations of the "unconscious" variety. The sections
on "deliberate" change focus on issues of language planning,
including the strategies of language revival and revitalisation
movements, and also include a detailed exploration of what is
arguably the most extreme instance of "deliberate" change; language
invention for real-world use.
As a student-friendly text which covers a wide variety of language
situations, it also makes a clear, but often ignored, distinction
between concepts such as language policy and planning, and language
revival and revitalisation, and the innovative case studies which
permeate the text demonstrate that real-life language use is often
much more complex than theoretical abstractions might suggest.
This book will be extremely useful to students on a variety of
courses including sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and
language policy and planning.

This book provides an elementary introduction to Information Theory and Coding Theory - two related aspects of the problem of how to transmit information efficiently and accurately. The first part of the book focuses on Information Theory, covering uniquely decodable and instantaneous codes, Huffman coding, entropy, information channels, and Shannon's Fundamental Theorem. In the second part, on Coding Theory, linear algebra is used to construct examples of such codes, such as the Hamming, Hadamard, Golay and Reed-Muller codes.The book emphasises carefully explained proofs and worked examples; exercises (with solutions) are integrated into the text as part of the learning process. Only some basic probability theory and linear algebra, together with a little calculus (as covered in most first-year university syllabuses), is assumed, making it suitable for second- and third-year undergraduates in mathematics, electronics and computer science.

A collection of wide-ranging and ambitious short plays reflecting
the complexities of women and political power in the United
Kingdom. The four plays published here look back to the moments in
history when women possessed - or achieved - power, and what they
did with it. The Milliner and the Weaver by Marie Jones, about the
Suffragette movement in Ireland, as the question of Home Rule
divides the nation. The Lioness by Rebecca Lenkiewicz is about
Queen Elizabeth I, the myth and the reality. Handbagged by Moira
Buffini, about the working relationship between Mrs Thatcher and
the Queen. Bloody Wimmin by Lucy Kirkwood, about the protests at
Greenham Common, a political landmark in the fight for nuclear
disarmament. The plays were first performed at the Tricycle
Theatre, London, as part of the Women, Power and Politics season in
June 2010. The other plays presented in the season are available in
the companion volume, Women, Power and Politics: Now.

British crime drama starring Griffith Jones, Ursula Howells and
Honor Blackman. When the body of a wealthy woman, identified as
Lucille Ainsworth (Howells), is discovered in Hampstead Heath it
appears there are many possible motives and suspects for her murder
and it's the job of Detective Inspector Marshall (Ewen Solon) to
solve the mystery. Her husband, banker Robert Ainsworth (Jones),
had suspected her of being unfaithful and had begun to follow her,
placing him firmly in Marshall's sights and making him compelled to
prove his innocence.
Two plays by award-winning playwright Marie Jones: the smash hit
Stones in His Pockets, which ran for four years in London's West
End; and an earlier monologue, A Night in November, exploring the
subjects of football and sectarianism, set during the 1994 World
Cup. Stones in His Pockets is a comedy with a poignant
undercurrent, about a small rural town in Ireland where a Hollywood
epic is being filmed. The story centres on Charlie Conlon and Jake
Quinn, who, like much of the town, are employed as extras for the
filming. After a tragic incident concerning a local teenager,
Charlie and Jake assume responsibility for giving an account of
events, taking on all the roles themselves. A two-hander that
delights in exploring the limits of comedy and theatricality, and
the collision of romanticised notions of 'Irishness' and the
harsher reality, Stones in His Pockets has delighted audiences
around the world. Marie Jones's play was first staged at the Lyric
Theatre in Belfast in June 1999 before opening at the Tricycle
Theatre, London, in August 1999. It transferred to the New
Ambassadors Theatre, London, in May 2000. Stones in His Pockets won
the 2001 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. A Night in November is
a one-man show following Kenneth McCallister, family man and
Ulsterman, on the fateful night in November in Belfast when the
Republic of Ireland qualifies against Northern Ireland for the
World Cup, and Kenneth finds himself watching the sectarian hatred
of the crowd rather than the football. A Night in November was
first performed at The West Belfast Festival, Whiterock, Belfast,
in August 1994, then toured extensively throughout Ireland, and was
also seen in New York. It was staged in London at the Tricycle
Theatre in March 1995.
