Missing data have long plagued those conducting applied research in the social, behavioral, and health sciences. Good missing data analysis solutions are available, but practical information about implementation of these solutions has been lacking. The objective of Missing Data: Analysis and Design is to enable investigators who are non-statisticians to implement modern missing data procedures properly in their research, and reap the benefits in terms of improved accuracy and statistical power. Missing Data: Analysis and Design contains essential information for both beginners and advanced readers. For researchers with limited missing data analysis experience, this book offers an easy-to-read introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of analysis of missing data; provides clear, step-by-step instructions for performing state-of-the-art multiple imputation analyses; and offers practical advice, based on over 20 years' experience, for avoiding and troubleshooting problems. For more advanced readers, unique discussions of attrition, non-Monte-Carlo techniques for simulations involving missing data, evaluation of the benefits of auxiliary variables, and highly cost-effective planned missing data designs are provided. The author lays out missing data theory in a plain English style that is accessible and precise. Most analysis described in the book are conducted using the well-known statistical software packages SAS and SPSS, supplemented by Norm 2.03 and associated Java-based automation utilities. A related web site contains free downloads of the supplementary software, as well as sample empirical data sets and a variety of practical exercises described in the book to enhance and reinforce the reader’s learning experience. Missing Data: Analysis and Design and its web site work together to enable beginners to gain confidence in their ability to conduct missing data analysis, and more advancedreaders to expand their skill set.
Whose Man in Havana?

Whose Man in Havana?

In Whose Man in Havana? the author offers an unconventional, often dark, but more often hilarious view of diplomacy in settings as varied as Haiti, London, the Dominican Republic, the Balkans, Palestine, Paraguay, Guyana, and Kyrgyzstan, including covert monitoring of Soviet military operations in Cuba on behalf of the CIA with the blessing of President Kennedy and Prime Minister Pearson.In a career that spans the Canadian foreign service and international organizations, he was fortunate to be in the right place at interesting, if turbulent, times. Throughout the book he has focussed on the lighter side of people and places, but almost everywhere the dark side intrudes. Graham makes plain that the intersection of the two is frequently black comedy.

To truly understand the dynamics and magic of the Kennedy family, one must understand their passion for sailing and the sea. Many families sail together, but the Kennedys' relationship with Victura, the 25-foot sloop purchased in 1932, stands apart. Throughout their brief lives, Joe Jr., Jack, and Bobby spent many hours racing Victura. Lack of effort in a race by one of his sons could infuriate Joseph P. Kennedy, and Joe Jr. and Jack ranked among the best collegiate sailors in New England. Likewise, Eunice emerged as a gifted sailor and fierce competitor, the equal of any of her brothers. The Kennedys believed that Jack's experience sailing Victura helped him survive the sinking of his PT boat during World War II. In the 1950s, glossy Life magazine photos of Jack and Jackie on Victura's bow helped define the winning Kennedy brand. Jack doodled sketches of Victura during Oval Office meetings, and it's probable that his love of seafaring played a role in his 1961 decision to put a man on the moon, an enterprise he referred to as"spacefaring." Ted loved Victura as much as any of his siblings did and, with his own children and the children of his lost brothers as crew, he sailed into his old age: past the shoals of an ebbing career, and into his eventual role as the"Lion of the Senate." In Victura, James W. Graham charts the progress of America's signature twentieth-century family dynasty in a narrative both stunningly original and deeply gripping. This true tale of one small sailboat is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the great story of the Kennedys.
Logistics & Supply Chain Management: In Multi-Domain Operations
"Significant...This book is smart, instructive, valuable, and surprisingly moving." Dr. Joseph Graham, one of the world's most successful thinkers and planners, shares the hidden principles and systems that he's developed, refined, and used over the past twenty years to create unique results in both life and business-and which any person or organization can use and leverage to game out and help achieve success.Starting In 2000, Dr. Joseph W. Graham discovered a set of unique principles that have led to exceptionally effective thinking, which he describes as "context thinking". It is these principles, and not anything special about Dr. Graham-who grew up an ordinary kid in a rural community-that he believes are the reason behind his success.In Logistics & Supply Chain Management: In Multi-Domain Operations, Dr. Graham shares what he's learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, underpinned by smart thinking can all be systemized into guiding rules of thumb and simply understood. The book's practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of "clear-eyed" insight, include Dr. Graham laying out the most effective and efficient ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and mitigate risks. He also describes the innovative tools leaders use to bring a plan to life, such as creating "color-codes" for all that distill weighted strengths and weaknesses for decision-making. Logistics & Supply Chain Management: In Multi-Domain Operations also offers a straightforward approach to decision-making and problem-solving that Dr. Graham believes anyone can use to get the right results in complex environments.More importantly, here, from a man who has had a ring-side seat with some of the leading thinkers of this modern age, and who from an early age has been call "the General', is a rare opportunity to gain proven-insightful-forward looking advice unlike anything you'll find anywhere.Get your copy today
