This ground-breaking publication provides a new view of the great Scottish artist Alan Davie (1920-2014), whose intensely physical gestural painting stood the staid post-war British art world on its head. In advance of a new Davie gallery in Hertford, the visually spectacular book argues that far from being an essentially historical figure, defined by the abstract expressionist era of the Fifties and early Sixties when he enjoyed his greatest fame, Davie was a prophetic artist whose preoccupations with universal creativity and self-realisation are more relevant today than they’ve ever been. Lavishly illustrated with rare archive photographs and little-seen paintings, Alan Davie in Hertford demonstrates that Davie’s visionary art was far more closely bound up with physical places than is generally supposed, not least the quiet market town of Hertford, where he lived for 60 years. A catalogue of 40 works intended as the new gallery’s core collection, provides a “rich and fabulous” survey of Davie’s work, from student works of the Thirties to some of his very last paintings.
This is a warts-and-all account in letter form of a five-month-old baby afflicted with one of the worst forms of meningitis and surviving but being left with two thirds brain damage. This happened in Fiji, and the family traveled to the US to seek treatment. This book describes that treatment and the effects of the brain damage in extreme hyperactivity and epilepsy. The book sets out the strain on the family as they seek to cope as their lives unfold in two placesin the US and then in Australia.

Readers of Mark Twain seldom doubt his genius, but defining that genius and locating its source continue to challenge students of American literature, and provoke a number of powerful responses, as these original essays demonstrate.

"Is the Chip, the 666 Mark of the Beast?"

I saw two different news broadcasts on a CEO getting a microchip in his hand. And then the employees were next. The phrase they used on the local news at 6:00 was, the C.E.O is leading the way. "They are starting today at the top of this company starting with the C.E.O, of the company, leading the way" The blind leading the blind. I say, well, I know my Bible, and it says to let them take off your head before receiving the mark 666 in your hand. And don't let any man deceive you by any means. Well, I felt I had to get a warning out, because let's face it, not everyone reads the Bible. And I also know how sly the old devil is. So these are my words: Don't take the chip. Get yourself in a good Bible-preaching church. Get ready, stay ready, things are wrapping up according to prophecies.

I've been extremely fortunate in my photography career to be able to sit with some of the most famous athletes in this country and listen to the stories they tell. Normally, this is in a private setting after a Pro-Am golf event or at an evening dinner presentation, where they are the speaker. Either way, only that immediate audience will ever hear these anecdotes.in this book, these Legends, or soon to be Legends of golf, reveal their antics, their stories and their challenges that make them more akin to us that you would ever think. How Jack Nicklaus shanked a ball off the 12th tee at the Masters in Augusta that almost took out Bobby Jones or how Fred Couples duffed a ball off the tee that bounced, sadly, into the water just ahead off the tee box. Doesn't that remind you of something you might have done at some time? They face the same challenges growing up as we did, they simply took a different path. Gary Player states, "Trevino was fantastic, you know, and his happiness was contagious. He always had great stories to tell and this is one of the things I've tried to do with all this traveling around the world, to prioritize all the great stories I've heard. I've done a lot of after-dinner speaking and it's a wonderful thing to recall all these great stories. You'd better be sure to write them down." That's what I want to achieve with this book, to be a historian, if you will. I want to make sure we never forget what made these players the people they are today, before it's too late and they are gone forever. That would be such a shame.
Risk-sensitive Investment Management

Over the last two decades, risk-sensitive control has evolved into an innovative and successful framework for solving dynamically a wide range of practical investment management problems.This book shows how to use risk-sensitive investment management to manage portfolios against an investment benchmark, with constraints, and with assets and liabilities. It also addresses model implementation issues in parameter estimation and numerical methods. Most importantly, it shows how to integrate jump-diffusion processes which are crucial to model market crashes.With its emphasis on the interconnection between mathematical techniques and real-world problems, this book will be of interest to both academic researchers and money managers. Risk-sensitive investment management links stochastic control and portfolio management. Because of its distinct emphasis on integrating advanced theoretical concepts into practical dynamic investment management tools, this book stands out from the existing literature in fundamental ways. It goes beyond mainstream research in portfolio management in a traditional static setting. The theoretical developments build on contemporary research in stochastic control theory, but are informed throughout by the need to construct an effective and practical framework for dynamic portfolio management.This book fills a gap in the literature by connecting mathematical techniques with the real world of investment management. Readers seeking to solve key problems such as benchmarked asset management or asset and liability management will certainly find it useful.

With the exception of climate change, biological invasions have probably received more attention during the past ten years than any other ecological topic. Yet this is the first synthetic, single-authored overview of the field since Williamson's 1996 book. Written fifty years after the publication of Elton's pioneering monograph on the subject, Invasion Biology provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the science of biological invasions while also offering new insights and perspectives relating to the processes of introduction, establishment, and spread. The book connects science with application by describing the health, economic, and ecological impacts of invasive species as well as the variety of management strategies developed to mitigate harmful impacts. The author critically evaluates the approaches, findings, and controversies that have characterized invasion biology in recent years, and suggests a variety of future research directions. Carefully balanced to avoid distinct taxonomic, ecosystem, and geographic (both investigator and species) biases, the book addresses a wide range of invasive species (including protists, invertebrates, vertebrates, fungi, and plants) which have been studied in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments throughout the world by investigators equally diverse in their origins. This accessible and thought-provoking text will be of particular interest to graduate level students and established researchers in the fields of invasion biology, community ecology, conservation biology, and restoration ecology. It will also be of value and use to land managers, policy makers, and other professionals charged with controlling the negative impacts associated with recently arrived species.
Current and concise, the updated and revised 2nd Edition of this pocket-sized reference reflects the substantial changes shaping the evaluation and treatment of many emergency conditions today. Its unique "signs and symptoms" approach offers the quickest possible way to diagnose critical conditions in an emergency situation. Organized around presenting symptoms, it can be used in real time to answer patient care questions. Diagnoses are listed in order of their severity in each chapter, with the symptoms, signs, suggested workup, and patient disposition given for each diagnosis. Uses a symptom-based approach for quick diagnosis. Features an outline format for real-time reference. Focuses on the 200 conditions most frequently encountered in the emergency room. Presents a useful tool for evaluating the likelihood that a specific symptom - or symptoms - denotes a particular disease, and allows the reader to initiate an appropriate treatment. Includes new chapters on emergency situations involving biological, chemical, and radiation terrorism . chapters devoted to the challenges presented by patients with AIDS and those with organ transplants . two chapters on environmental emergencies . one chapter examining heat illness, hypothermia, and submersion injury . and a chapter on envenomations. Features expanded "Treatment Considerations? sections.
