Spooky Tales

Spooky Tales

Michael J Bryant

2019
nidottu
In life, there are many doors in which to open. Some become doorways to success while others may go well beyond the normal. Spooky Tales is a collection of spine-chilling short stories pertaining to strange occurrences, real haunted places and perhaps the supernatural. Do the doorways we choose in life, lead us into unnatural situations and could we have avoided some endings? A hypothetical discontinuity or distortion occurring in the flow of time could possibly move events from one time period to another or it could even suspend the passage of time altogether.

Magician in Black

Magician in Black

Michael J. Merry

At least 62 verified plots to assassinate Adolph Hitler took place between 1932 and 1944. None succeeded. When threats appeared in the early 30's, Hitler told Heinrich Himmler, Reichsfuhrer-SS, he required someone who might `be trusted with his life'. Based on these needs, Himmler had his protege, Reinhard Heydrich, head of the German Security Services, seek someone to perform the task. His choice was Dieter Goff, a WWI veteran, now a police officer in Berlin. Goff became known as `The Magician in Black' due to his talent for extracting confessions without violence. Hitler, Goebbels, and Goeering all admired him for his success, and as head of the Fuhrer Protection Unit of the SD, he became a Brigadier. However, in 1937, disillusioned with Hitler, he defected to the Americans and helped to found what was to be the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, later the CIA. This is Goff's story.

Desert Storm

Desert Storm

Michael J. Mazarr

Routledge
2019
sidottu
From Saddam Hussein's first bold threats in 1990 to the stunning ground phase of Desert Storm in early 1991, the crisis in the Gulf captured the world's attention. This high-tech, low-cost war was televised nightly from beginning to end, accompanied by on-the-spot interpretations of strategy and its implications. But what did we learn from this crisis? Did the United States bungle its attempts at discouraging Saddam's aggressive actions, or is deterrence simply not a reliable foreign policy tool? Are chemical weapons truly the "poor man's atom bomb"? Does the war represent a good model for future crises, or did circumstances make this war more of an anomaly than a precedent? How did the ail-volunteer U.S. force perform? By combining exciting, detailed vignettes of the crisis with insightful discussions of its consequences, this book opens up an informed debate concerning the true military and geopolitical lessons of the conflict. Representing a distillation of the best thinking on defense and foreign policy in Washington, Desert Storm also incorporates the testimony of the inside players during the crisis—the people who actually planned and fought the war. Combining academic rigor and in-depth military expertise, the authors challenge the complacency of the emerging conventional wisdom regarding the conflict, taking us beyond mere chronicling and instant analysis to a riveting reenactment of the war and the serious consideration of its long-term implications.

Leaders, Leadership, and U.S. Policy in Latin America

Leaders, Leadership, and U.S. Policy in Latin America

Michael J. Kryzanek

Routledge
2019
sidottu
Because the governing framework in many Latin American countries is weak or unstable, the United States has often resorted to formulating and implementing policy based on its ability to deal with a wide array of national leaders, from military dictators to civilian politicians to Marxist revolutionaries. Leaders and leadership style are therefore important factors in U.S. perception of the region and in the development of policies that affect Latin American countries. In this book Michael Kryzanek examines the ways in which the critical interaction between individual leaders and the U.S. policy community affects the substance and direction of hemispheric relations. Throughout, the author uses case studies to illustrate how individual heads of state respond to the issues of drugs, debt, trade, and regional security. Such leaders as Salinas of Mexico, Gaviria of Colombia, Chamorro of Nicaragua, Endara of Panama, Cristiani of El Salvador, and Menem of Argentina are examined at close range to analyze their mode of operation and to assess their ability to attain national objectives in a region in which U.S. influence is substantial.

The Idea of Suicide

The Idea of Suicide

Michael J. Kral

Routledge
2019
sidottu
This book is about a new theory of suicide as cultural mimesis, or as an idea that is internalized from culture. Written as part of a new, critical focus in suicidology, this volume moves away from the dominant, strictly scientific understanding of suicide as the result of a mental disorder, and towards positioning suicide as an anthropologically salient, community-driven phenomenon. Written by a leading researcher in the field, this volume presents a conception of suicide as culturally scripted, and it demonstrates how suicide becomes a cultural idiom of distress that for some can become a normative option.

Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data

Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data

Michael J. Daniels; Antonio Linero; Jason Roy

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data provides an overview of flexible Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) methods for modeling joint or conditional distributions and functional relationships, and their interplay with causal inference and missing data. This book emphasizes the importance of making untestable assumptions to identify estimands of interest, such as missing at random assumption for missing data and unconfoundedness for causal inference in observational studies. Unlike parametric methods, the BNP approach can account for possible violations of assumptions and minimize concerns about model misspecification. The overall strategy is to first specify BNP models for observed data and then to specify additional uncheckable assumptions to identify estimands of interest.The book is divided into three parts. Part I develops the key concepts in causal inference and missing data and reviews relevant concepts in Bayesian inference. Part II introduces the fundamental BNP tools required to address causal inference and missing data problems. Part III shows how the BNP approach can be applied in a variety of case studies. The datasets in the case studies come from electronic health records data, survey data, cohort studies, and randomized clinical trials.Features• Thorough discussion of both BNP and its interplay with causal inference and missing data• How to use BNP and g-computation for causal inference and non-ignorable missingness• How to derive and calibrate sensitivity parameters to assess sensitivity to deviations from uncheckable causal and/or missingness assumptions• Detailed case studies illustrating the application of BNP methods to causal inference and missing data• R code and/or packages to implement BNP in causal inference and missing data problemsThe book is primarily aimed at researchers and graduate students from statistics and biostatistics. It will also serve as a useful practical reference for mathematically sophisticated epidemiologists and medical researchers.
