This book tells the story of how I just had my "Best Christmas Ever." Given that I've had 54 of them, I did something different this year that made it stand out--and stand out it did. I discovered that the secret is not in what you get, but what you give. I discovered 10 keys that can help make your next Christmas your best one ever. You can do it while going through a divorce, without having all of your children with you, while living 2300 miles away from your extended family, and even while losing some of your specially-created gifts. You can learn how to keep Jesus in the forefront of the Christmas season and how to not get caught up in all of the last-minute stress of shopping. I hope this book will bring as much joy into your life as it brought into mine by actually creating it and doing it all. In a world that has so many people avoiding or backing away from Christmas for whatever reasons, this book can turn all of that around. An excellent book for people who are discouraged, lonely, depressed, afraid, or not excited about the Christmas season. It's also for anyone who is going to have another "good" Christmas but who would really like to make it much better. If you are interested in having your "Best Christmas Ever", read this book and follow it's ten keys to making it all happen. And enjoy the story It's true, and it all happened. If I can have my best Christmas ever, you can too
Comments: "The book is the articulation of your own religious experience, and writing it has probably been a kind of liberation for you .... Moreover, many of the things you say are connected to currents in contemporary religious thought. Moreover, there are today non-believers, even atheists, who insist on the importance of a spiritual life. Charles Taylor wrote ... that humble believers and spiritual non-believers have more in common that they do with the fundamentalists in their own tradition, Christian or atheist. Deep reflection on these important issues produces a calm joy." -Gregory Baum, Prof. Emeritus, McGill University; Peritus, Ecumenical Secretariat, Vatican II. About the Book: Hopeless, meaningless, and lost. That, at times, describes human life. But then out of the harsh cocoon of Earthly life, some people metamorphose into butterflies. They find hope and meaning and astonish with their fresh outlook on human life. Travails of Faith is a unique thrilling drama of people from varied walks of life with life-changing realizations. This potpourri of characters who travel through exotic getaways converges to a common thread of human search for meaning in life amid brokenness and confusion. At times, it will make you laugh; at other times, shed tears. However, in the end it will cheer you with its exhilarating unraveling of a fresh outlook on faith and human life that transcends traditional notions. Travails of Faith is dramatically entertaining, yet profoundly enlightening and deeply inspiring. A book that enhances one's sense of humanity.

Modern Multivariate Statistical Techniques

Remarkable advances in computation and data storage and the ready availability of huge data sets have been the keys to the growth of the new disciplines of data mining and machine learning, while the enormous success of the Human Genome Project has opened up the field of bioinformatics. These exciting developments, which led to the introduction of many innovative statistical tools for high-dimensional data analysis, are described here in detail. The author takes a broad perspective; for the first time in a book on multivariate analysis, nonlinear methods are discussed in detail as well as linear methods. Techniques covered range from traditional multivariate methods, such as multiple regression, principal components, canonical variates, linear discriminant analysis, factor analysis, clustering, multidimensional scaling, and correspondence analysis, to the newer methods of density estimation, projection pursuit, neural networks, multivariate reduced-rank regression, nonlinear manifold learning, bagging, boosting, random forests, independent component analysis, support vector machines, and classification and regression trees. Another unique feature of this book is the discussion of database management systems. This book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, psychology, cognitive sciences, business, medicine, bioinformatics, and engineering. Familiarity with multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and probability and statistics is required. The book presents a carefully-integrated mixture of theory and applications, and of classical and modern multivariate statistical techniques, including Bayesian methods. There are over 60 interesting data sets used as examples in the book, over 200 exercises, and many color illustrations and photographs.
