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.
The first account from a prisoner of war in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A shocking, hugely powerful memoir by British-born Ukrainian marine Aiden Aslin, who spent six months in Russian captivity.
Aiden Aslin joined the Ukrainian marines in 2018, compelled to defend his adopted homeland from the growing threat of Russian invasion. In February 2022, as Russia mounted a full-scale offensive, Aiden and his unit were stationed at the frontline at Mariupol. Pinned down at a Mariupol steelworks, after a month-long siege and running out of supplies, Aiden was part of the mass surrender of over a thousand Ukrainian troops, in April 2022. Then his real ordeal began.
Singled out for his British passport, Aiden was interrogated, tortured, stabbed, turned into a propaganda zombie, tried by a kangaroo court and then sentenced to death. A victim of a catalogue of abuses of international law, Aiden struggled to cling on to any hope of survival. Certain that he was going to be executed, he was eventually freed in a prisoner exchange and permitted to return home.
In Putin's Prisoner, Aiden will tell the full, harrowing story of his time fighting in Putin's war, of his six months in Russian captivity, and of his hardened resolve to defend the freedoms of the people of Ukraine.
A gripping and explosive account of Vladimir Putin's tyranny, charting his rise from spy to tsar, exposing the events that led to his invasion of Ukraine and his assault on Europe.
In Killer in the Kremlin, award-winning journalist John Sweeney takes readers from the heart of Putin's Russia to the killing fields of Chechnya, to the embattled cities of an invaded Ukraine.
In a disturbing exposé of Putin's sinister ambition, Sweeney draws on thirty years of his own reporting - from the Moscow apartment bombings to the atrocities committed by the Russian Army in Chechnya, to the annexation of Crimea and a confrontation with Putin over the shooting down of flight MH17 - to understand the true extent of Putin's long war.
Drawing on eyewitness accounts and compelling testimony from those who have suffered at Putin's hand, we see the heroism of the Russian opposition, the bravery of the Ukrainian resistance, and the brutality with which the Kremlin responds to such acts of defiance, assassinating or locking away its critics, and stopping at nothing to achieve its imperialist aims.
In the midst of one of the darkest acts of aggression in modern history - Russia's invasion of Ukraine - this book shines a light on Putin's rule and poses urgent questions about how the world must respond.

bars and hairdressers - and in the beds of strange men. Finally, 48
hours later, alone in a cottage in Wales, the woman faces up to
what she has been ignoring, inside herself, her family, modern
society: signs of breakdown.

Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) is popularly
celebrated for his fascinating spiritual life. How could one man,
one deeply spiritual man, serve as both a traditional Oglala Lakota
medicine man and a Roman Catholic catechist and mystic? How did
these two spiritual and cultural identities enrich his prayer life?
How did his commitment to God, understood through his Lakota and
Catholic communities, shape his understanding of how to be in the
world? To fully understand the depth of Black Elk's life-long
spiritual quest requires a deep appreciation of his life story. He
witnessed devastation on the battlefields of Little Bighorn and the
Massacre at Wounded Knee, but also extravagance while performing
for Queen Victoria as a member of "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Wild West
Show. Widowed by his first wife, he remarried and raised eight
children. Black Elk's spiritual visions granted him wisdom and
healing insight beginning in his childhood, but he grew
progressively physically blind in his adult years. These stories,
and countless more, offer insight into this extraordinary man whose
cause for canonization is now underway at the Vatican.
This joint biography illuminates the lives of Francis and Clare and
their way of life. It shows how they were bound together by
devotion to God as well as the violent objections of their families
to religious life. It explores a variety of issues they faced,
including the treatment of lepers in medieval society, corruption
in the church, and attitudes toward the created world. You will
learn how Clare's spirituality influenced that of other prominent
women, how Francis lost control of his own movement, and why
Francis's body was secretly buried after his death.

who went missing all those years ago...

An essential work of Christian mysticism Interior Castle is the
latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library, a series of books
that seeks to bring spiritual wisdom--both modern and ancient--to
today's readers. This new edition of the pivotal spiritual classic
is a must read for seekers and believers alike. St. Teresa of Avila
was one of the greatest Christian mystics, and dedicated her life
to understanding how the soul can ascend to union with God.
Interior Castle is her master work and a powerful guide for all
seeking to explore prayer as an act of mystical, divine union.
Interior Castle was inspired by a vision wherein St. Theresa saw a
crystalline castle with God at the heart. The book is framed around
the seven mansions that made up this castle, each one a stage of
the journey of faith, ending with ultimate communion with God. St.
Teresa's writings have inspired and guided generations of readers
as they seek to develop a deeper understanding of divinity through
mystical experience with God.
