Factor Analysis and Related Methods

Factor Analysis and Related Methods

Roderick P. McDonald

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Inc
1985
sidottu
Factor Analysis is a genetic term for a somewhat vaguely delimited set of techniques for data processing, mainly applicable to the social and biological sciences. These techniques have been developed for the analysis of mutual relationships among a number of measurements made on a number of measurable entities. In the broad sense, factor analysis comprises a number of statistical models which yield testable hypotheses -- hypotheses that may confirm or disconfirm in terms of the usual statistical procedures for making tests of significance. It also comprises a number of simplifying procedures for the approximate description of data, which do not in any sense constitute disconfirmable hypotheses, except in the loose sense that they supply approximations to the data. In literature, the two types of analysis have often been confused. This book clarifies the concepts of factor analysis for students or professionals in the social sciences who wish to know the technique, rather than the mathematics, of factor theory. Mathematical concepts are described to have an intuitive meaning for the non-mathematical reader. An account of the elements of matrix algebra, in the appendix, and the (mathematical) notes following each chapter will help the reader who wishes to receive a more advanced treatment of the subject. Factor Analysis and Related Methods should prove a useful text for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in economics, the behavioral sciences, and education. Researchers and practitioners in those fields will also find this book a handy reference.

Printing and the Book Trade in the West Indies

Printing and the Book Trade in the West Indies

Roderick Cave

Pindar Press
1987
sidottu
The division of the Caribbean islands between the major European powers resulted in the growth of a number of regional presses, providing the colonists with the reading matter they would have expected from their countries of origin. The differing attitudes of the colonial powers towards the press is evident both in the date when printing was first introduced in the colonies, and the number and type of works subsequently issued. Over the last twenty years Professor Cave's research has done much to clarify the development of printing in the West Indies. This volume brings together for the first time his work on the subject, with the addition of seven papers which have previously not been generally available. The author is principally concerned with printing in the English-speaking islands of the Caribbean, in particular with Jamaica, but there are also articles on printing in the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, the Dutch West Indies, Grenada and Trinidad. The parallels with early printing in the North American colonies are particularly important. Professor Cave has contributed an introduction and additional notes which draw attention to fresh material subsequently discovered. There is an index and bibliography.

Using a benefit-cost framework for comparing alternative uses of land, this text examines: the notion that those who pollute the environment and benefit economically should pay for cleaning up mine wastes; and the formulation of national and supranational environmental policies.

The Nervous Generation

The Nervous Generation

Roderick Nash

Ivan R Dee, Inc
1990
pokkari
How roaring were the Roaring Twenties? How lost was the Lost Generation? In this major reinterpretation of one of the most colorful decades in American history, Roderick Nash finds the image of the period to be less than life-size. His book is not only a summary of the high points of American thought from the Great War to the Great Depression but a lively foray into popular culture. His interest in Zane Grey as well as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Ford as well as John Dewey, offers fresh insights into a decade filled with paradoxes. Seeking to find “what captured the enthusiasm of ordinary people,” Mr. Nash has written an original and persuasive analysis of a generation that continues to command our attention.

The Federalist: Excerpts with Commentary

The Federalist: Excerpts with Commentary

Roderick Saxey

Haus Sachse Enterprises, Inc.
2015
nidottu
THE FEDERALIST PAPERS were a series of newspaper articles published by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay to persuade the citizens of 1787 and 1788 to vote for the newly proposed Constitution upon which our American government is based. They were so well done that Thomas Jefferson called them "The best commentary on the principles of government ever written." Despite the passage of years, the founders' insights are as fresh as the latest headlines and deal with such topics as excessive legislation, arrogance in public officials, limitations of government, multiculturalism, taxation, and more. The problem for modern readers is THE PAPERS are long (about 600 pages) and sometimes difficult to understand. This is where THE FEDERALIST, EXCERPTS WITH COMMENTARY comes in. First published in 1994, it earned such comments as "a delectable book" (R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR) and "I will keep this important work in my office" (Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice).This new edition of THE FEDERALIST, EXCERPTS WITH COMMENTARY brings you the best quotes from that "best commentary" along with short explanations of their importance in today's America. Ours is an age of constitutional crisis, not just the conflicts between Congress and President or between conservative and liberal, but a crisis of understanding the basic principles and objectives of American government. Reading THE FEDERALIST can help deal with that crisis. In the words of Mark Brunelle in THE OREGON OBSERVER, "This short book is a must read . . worth its weight in gold . . . (A) timely work . . . a masterpiece "

Chronicle of the Lake

Chronicle of the Lake

Roderick Saxey

R. R. Bowker
2023
pokkari
Chronicle of the Lake is a story about mankind's interaction with nature and how it has changed through time. It starts with two modern scientists playing chess beneath a maple tree next to a lake. They speculate on how previous civilizations regarded the lake and forest and how they made use of the resources around them. Their conversation topics range from primitive hunter-gatherers to classical philosophers to medieval warlords to modern businessmen and developers. The scientists finally find themselves pulled into a legal struggle to determine how to manage development around the lake. They view it as more than a political matter, but rather a philosophical one about how best to live with nature, make proper use of resources, and be good stewards of creation and not wasters of it.

Growing Up Tough

Growing Up Tough

Roderick Saxey

R. R. Bowker
2023
pokkari
It wasn't easy being a young boy in Price, Utah, during the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s, not with the name of Shirley Edwin and a birthday on April Fool's Day, not when your best friends were immigrants and the KKK hated them and you, and not when one disaster after another tore at your family and town. Read how little Eddie dealt with the challenges of his early exposure to the realities of death, political conflict, labor strife, and ethnic prejudice. His experiences with family and friends taught him the importance of love, faith, honesty, and acting promptly on impulses to do good. The result is a heart-warming story of love, loyalty, and learning. Growing Up Tough takes place in a town still in transition between the old west and the modern world. We are in a similar period of transition, and the lessons learned then can be applied to our time, dealing with personal character and relationships, assimilating immigrants, and reconciling political and cultural differences between people
