While Steve Ditko and Stan Lee may have created Spider-Man, it was John Romita Sr. who defined him, bringing his clean, romantic style of illustration to the book. From his days before Marvel, through the Sliver Age and on into designing and creating the characters we know and love still today (including Wolverine, the Punisher and many, many more), Romita: Generations covers it all.

Statistical Modelling in R

Statistical Modelling in R

Murray Aitkin; Brian Francis; John Hinde; Ross Darnell

Oxford University Press
2009
nidottu
R is now the most widely used statistical package/language in university statistics departments and many research organisations. Its great advantages are that for many years it has been the leading-edge statistical package/language and that it can be freely downloaded from the R web site. Its cooperative development and open code also attracts many contributors meaning that the modelling and data analysis possibilities in R are much richer than in GLIM4, and so the R edition can be substantially more comprehensive than the GLIM4 edition of Statistical Modelling. This text provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of statistical modelling in R with an emphasis on applications to practical problems and an expanded discussion of statistical theory. A wide range of case studies is provided, using the normal, binomial, Poisson, multinomial, gamma, exponential and Weibull distributions, making this book ideal for graduates and research students in applied statistics and a wide range of quantitative disciplines.

Rhetoric Versus Reality

How can public schools be improved? One radical solution that has been proposed is to provide parents with a voucher for a specified dollar amount for use at any public or private school (both religious and non-religious). Proponents argue that those children using the voucher would be able to attend more effective and efficient private schools, and that the loss of students (and revenue) to public schools would force them to respond by improving their programmes. Everyone would then be better off. In what has become a fiercely contentious and highly political debate opponents claim that moving to such a voucher system on a large scale would destroy public schools and exacerbate inequities in student outcomes by class and race/ethnicity. Both sides use research evidence from a small number of voucher experiments, and other sources, to bolster their claims. In this RAND Education book, the authors take a hard look at the evidence on vouchers in education.They consider what we know and what we would like to know more about: how vouchers would affect the academic achievement of participating and non-participating students, which students might use vouchers, who would supply and regulate schooling under a voucher system, and how much a voucher system would cost. After an exhaustive and critical review, the authors conclude that the evidence for many of the positions taken by either side in the debate is remarkably weak. For example, there is little rigorous empirical analysis that suggests public schools do any better job than private schools in promoting civic values or racial/ethnic integration, and that moving to a voucher system would have disastrous consequences. However, the evidence on the positive effects of vouchers on participating students is modest at best, and there is almost no grounded analysis of the key policy questions that policymakers need to consider before moving to a large-scale voucher experiment. This book should be a useful, unbiased primer for all those interested in this controversial topic.
Creating an Excellent School

Creating an Excellent School

Hedley Beare; Brian J. Caldwell; Ross H. Millikan

Routledge
2018
sidottu
Originally published in 1989. The pursuit of excellence is much discussed with reference to education, but the question remains, ’How can a school become excellent?’ This book demonstrates that excellence depends on good management which, in turn, depends not only on a clear understanding of good management theory, but on the ability to translate theory into practice. The authors offer profound insights into three crucial areas of leadership: culture, structure, and public accountability. Drawing on areas outside education, such as advertising and business, they discuss many innovations that are already current - flexitime, the vertical curriculum, mastery learning, community support - and depict ways in which these can be brought together into a total educational experience. More strikingly, however, they look ahead, examining the potential changes to our concept of schooling: for instance those brought about by the growth of information technology. This book emphasises that at the heart of outstanding schooling are visionary leadership, a clear sense of purpose, and creatively conceived and flexible support structures.

Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and realized that your dreams and, yes, even your nightmares were actual events in the lives of others Others that you didn't know and had never met before Get ready to embark on a true life-changing story of supernatural intervention in the lives of a small group of happy-go-lucky individuals. This small band of friends was about to unknowingly run headfirst into a mystical power that would change the course of their lives forever.Come along as the revelation of the past becomes the reality of the present, as the lines between their lives and the destiny of the universe become forever entangled Suddenly they are startled by the uncloaking of a world that few have ever seen. Remarkably, they are allowed a view into the realm of an unforeseen force, a force that has always been watching and waiting, a realm of unlimited power and knowledge.This account is a testimony of how in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, our everyday lives can be changed. Are the things that we perceive as reality simply on loan to us by the one who controls the destiny of the universe? The one who exists in a world that knows no borders or time constraints? Everything that we consider to be our own personal life, even our extremely private thoughts, can be snatched away from us in the very moment, when heaven and earth collide

Some King James Bibles say always and others alway. And in places some say stablish while other Bible publishers use establish. And what about throughly and thoroughly? And example and ensample? Are these variations actually a different word with a different meaning, or are they spelling changes over time? Is verbatim identicality required for a perfect Bible?Users of the King James Bible have wrestled with these issues for years. In this orthographic, historical, and textual investigation, author Bryan C. Ross looks at these words (and much more) from the perspective of one who has total trust in the King James Bible.

The King James Bible uses the word Easter in Acts 12:4. Is this a reference to the Christian holiday? Or a pagan holiday? Or is it a reference to the Jewish Passover?In this short book, author Bryan C. Ross analyzes the use of Easter He does so using pre-King James translations, etymological studies, and exegetical context.This book will be loved by those who love the King James Bible but are perplexed by this seeming anachronism. It will also challenge some common thinking as to what Easter means in Acts 12:4.

Beyond the Wire: A Soldier's Perspective on the Iraq War
Squinting from a one-two punch of exhaustion and the eerie faded-brass hue of a desert sun that doesn't take breaks and never seems to want to, I'm trying to decide just how in the hell I ended up here. Here, being Iraq. Cavalry Scout. In the Army for that matter. Perhaps if I thought long and hard enough I could remember. I knew for damn sure that I had no shortage of time to work it out. My journey started six thousand miles to the west in a place called Ashtabula, Ohio. I had spent the better part of a year at a 3rd shift job in a factory on the far end of town, trying not to lose myself in the mullets and meth of the American Midwest. Then came 9/11. The images of those airplanes slamming into the NYC skyline like lawn darts playing on a constant loop on CNN. The attack had leant me a sense of purpose; I enlisted in the Army. Now here I was two years later, as far from Ashtabula as I could get, squinting in the dust and that godforsaken insane-colored sun. It all seemed to be drawing together into some kind of destiny; and before I ever saw Ohio again, before I got the chance to comprehend the paradise that Ashtabula really had been, there was Iraq. There was an eternity of gunfire and explosions and heat and blood and steel. Iraq was hell, and that was exactly where I was going.
