This new International Version includes all material covered in the
standard eighth edition, but numerical data and calculations are
expressed in Systeme International (SI) units. Completely revised,
this latest edition includes new chapters on electrical systems;
motors and drives; commissioning; and human behavior and facility
energy management. Also updated are chapters on lighting, HVAC
systems, web-based building automation, control systems, green
buildings, and greenhouse gas management. Written by respected
professionals, this book examines objectives of energy management
and illustrates techniques proven effective for achieving results.
This book is intended for use as the textbook in a second course in
applied statistics that covers topics in multiple regression and
analysis of variance at an intermediate level. Generally, students
enrolled in such courses are p- marily graduate majors or advanced
undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines. These
students typically have taken an introductory-level s- tistical
methods course that requires the use a software system such as SAS
for performing statistical analysis. Thus students are expected to
have an - derstanding of basic concepts of statistical inference
such as estimation and hypothesis testing. Understandably, adequate
time is not available in a ?rst course in stat- tical methods to
cover the use of a software system adequately in the amount of time
available for instruction. The aim of this book is to teach how to
use the SAS system for data analysis. The SAS language is
introduced at a level of sophistication not found in most
introductory SAS books. Important features such as SAS data step
programming, pointers, and line-hold spe- ?ers are described in
detail. The powerful graphics support available in SAS is
emphasized throughout, and many worked SAS program examples contain
graphic components.
Here, for the first time, is the private and most intimate correspondence of one of America's most influential and incisive journalists--Hunter S. Thompson. In letters to a Who's Who of luminaries from Norman Mailer to Charles Kuralt, Tom Wolfe to Lyndon Johnson, William Styron to Joan Baez--not to mention his mother, the NRA, and a chain of newspaper editors--Thompson vividly catches the tenor of the times in 1960s America and channels it all through his own razor-sharp perspective. Passionate in their admiration, merciless in their scorn, and never anything less than fascinating, the dispatches of The Proud Highway offer an unprecedented and penetrating gaze into the evolution of the most outrageous raconteur/provocateur ever to assault a typewriter.
In this book the authors have assembled the best techniques from a
great variety of sources, establishing a benchmark for the field of
statistical computing. ---Mathematics of Computation . The text is
highly readable and well illustrated with examples. The reader who
intends to take a hand in designing his own regression and
multivariate packages will find a storehouse of information and a
valuable resource in the field of statistical computing.

The Italian scholar and poet Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) is best
remembered today for vibrant and impassioned love poetry that
helped to establish Italian as a literary language. Petrarch
inspired later Renaissance writers, who produced an extraordinary
body of work regarded today as perhaps the high-water mark of
poetic productivity in the European West. These "Petrarchan" poets
were self-consciously aware of themselves as poets-as craftsmen,
revisers, and professionals. As William J. Kennedy shows in
Petrarchism at Work, this commitment to professionalism and the
mastery of poetic craft is essential to understanding Petrarch's
legacy. Petrarchism at Work contributes to recent scholarship that
explores relationships between poetics and economic history in
early-modern European literature. Kennedy traces the development of
a Renaissance aesthetics from one based upon Platonic intuition and
visionary furor to one grounded in Aristotelian craftsmanship and
technique. Their polarities harbor economic consequences, the first
privileging the poet's divinely endowed talent, rewarded by the
autocratic largess of patrons, the other emphasizing the poet's
acquired skill and hard work. Petrarch was the first to exploit the
tensions between these polarities, followed by his poetic
successors. These include Gaspara Stampa in the emergent salon
society of Venice, Michelangelo Buonarroti in the "gift" economy of
Medici Florence and papal Rome, Pierre de Ronsard and the poets of
his Pleiade brigade in the fluctuant Valois court, and William
Shakespeare and his contemporaries in the commercial world of
Elizabethan and early Stuart London. As Kennedy shows, the poetic
practices of revision and redaction by Petrarch and his successors
exemplify the transition from a premodern economy of patronage to
an early modern economy dominated by unstable market forces.
