This is the life story of Bridget Bishop, the first woman executed for witchcraft in Salem in 1692. At the time of her death, she was one of the most prosperous tavern owners in the colonies. Here is an account of the journey she traveled - through three marriages, the birth of a daughter, extremes of both poverty and wealth, and accusations of murder and witchcraft. It is the story of one woman, living life on her own terms, and discovering for herself the varied meanings of heaven and hell.

Delegate Apportionment in the US Presidential Primaries

Delegate Apportionment in the US Presidential Primaries

Michael A. Jones; David McCune; Jennifer M. Wilson

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book provides a comprehensive mathematical description and analysis of the delegate allocation processes in the US Democratic and Republican presidential primaries, focusing on the role of apportionment methods and the effect of thresholds—the minimum levels of support required to receive delegates. The analysis involves a variety of techniques, including theoretical arguments, simplicial geometry, Monte Carlo simulation, and examination of presidential primary data from 2004 to 2020. The book is divided into two parts: Part I defines the classical apportionment problem and explains how the implementation and goals of delegate apportionment differ from those of apportionment for state representation in the US House of Representatives and for party representation in legislatures based on proportional representation. The authors then describe how delegates are assigned to states and congressional districts and formally define the delegate apportionment methods usedin each state by the two major parties to allocate delegates to presidential candidates. Part II analyzes and compares the apportionment methods introduced in Part I based on their level of bias and adherence to various notions of proportionality. It explores how often the methods satisfy the quota condition and quantifies their biases in favor or against the strongest and weakest candidates. Because the methods are quota-based, they are susceptible to classical paradoxes like the Alabama and population paradoxes. They also suffer from other paradoxes that are more relevant in the context of delegate apportionment such as the elimination and aggregation paradoxes. The book evaluates the extent to which each method is susceptible to each paradox. Finally, it discusses the appointment of delegates based on divisor methods and notions of regressive proportionality.This book appeals to scholars and students interested in mathematical economics and political science, with an emphasis on apportionment and social choice theory.

Math Affinity Puzzles

Math Affinity Puzzles

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

Instead of treating mathematics as a collection of separate topics or isolated courses, this book highlights the patterns and relationships that appear throughout mathematics. Rather than keeping studies confined to a single field, the puzzles here look beyond boundaries and discover links among different areas of knowledge. Within the domain of mathematics, this book focuses on the fun of finding such connections through puzzles. Math Affinity Puzzles uses analogies to explore connections between mathematical terms and concepts, where solving a puzzle requires unraveling the relationships between the mathematical ideas. Solving this kind of mathematical puzzle is thus not about assessing understanding but deepening it, making the connections, and having fun doing it. Because there may be multiple relationships present, one answer is not claimed to be correct. Instead, which answer is best comes from one point of view. The short descriptions follow, touching on the different choices while going more deeply into historical or other aspects of the relationships. The puzzles will deepen the reader’s understanding and appreciation of, as well as foster discussion about, the relationships among mathematical ideas. The puzzles in this book can be enjoyed on their own or as supplements in a course setting. The authors have used them in calculus and upper-level classes as homework assignments and for in-class discussions. Students have been asked to justify the one they have chosen, offering opportunities for noncomputational critical thinking, speaking, and writing about mathematics.

This collection profiles understudied figures in the book and print trades of the seventeenth century. With an equal balance between women and men, it intervenes in the history of the trades, emphasising the broad range of material, cultural, and ideological work these people undertook. It offers a biographical introduction to each figure, placing them in their social, professional, and institutional settings. The collection considers varied print trade roles including that of the printer, publisher, paper-maker, and bookseller, as well as several specific trade networks and numerous textual forms. The biographies draw on extensive new archival research, with details of key sources for further study on each figure. Chronologically organised, this Element offers a primer both on numerous individual figures, and on the tribulations and innovations of the print trade in the century of revolution.

“Who better to raise teens’ awareness of mental illness and health than the YA authors they admire?” —Booklist (starred review) “[A] much-needed, enlightening book.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Your favorite YA authors including Ellen Hopkins, Maureen Johnson, and more recount their own experiences with mental health in this raw, real, and powerful collection of essays that explores everything from ADD to PTSD.Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? Not the occasional morning, but every day? Do you find yourself listening to a voice in your head that says “you’re not good enough,” “not good looking enough,” “not thin enough,” or “not smart enough”? Have you ever found yourself unable to do homework or pay attention in class unless everything is “just so” on your desk? Everyone has had days like that, but what if you have them every day? You’re not alone. Millions of people are going through similar things. However issues around mental health still tend to be treated as something shrouded in shame or discussed in whispers. It’s easier to have a broken bone—something tangible that can be “fixed”—than to have a mental illness, and easier to have a discussion about sex than it is to have one about mental health. Life Inside My Mind is an anthology of true-life events from writers of this generation, for this generation. These essays tackle everything from neurodiversity to addiction to OCD to PTSD and much more. The goals of this book range from providing a home to those who are feeling alone, awareness to those who are witnessing a friend or family member struggle, and to open the floodgates to conversation.

This book was written by more than 22 incredible OVERCOMERS. As women in success, the truth is that we all have challenges. We have distractions and disappointments. We have pain and betrayal. However even still, in order to have success in life, we must be willing to push through the pain anyway. The purpose of this book is to connect you with women from all over who all have different stories of triumph but they all share one thing in common, they are pushing through no matter what. We think it is important to share these stories because with the world being so accessible to social media and TV, sometimes, its easy to fall into the idea that you may be alone. Typically, when it comes to social media, people will only show the positives of their lives and not the challenges which we believe they should.

A must read Nikkii S This book is a composed book of love for all who are sensing a CALL to bring their children home. In a nutshell, it's a simple "how-to" book of turning our hearts and our children's hearts back to family, and back to Christ all the while providing them the education God wants for each of them. Some may say that home education is like living in a bubble. My thought is, "I should hope so " Inside this bubble of life at home, we learn how to love and how to interact with others. We learn to show compassion. We have time to ponder the natural gifts God bestows on each of us, to consider our life's purpose and how we will make a difference in the world. This journey of life at home with my children has been a real living and breathing experience. The "real" that we have going on under our roof is a great blessing-real relationships, real and deep discussions, real and living literature, real and important questions and answers, and real and exciting plans for the future This book contains the point of view and experience from the author's life at home with her children. Whether you bring your children home or keep them in school it will help you gather a vision for your child and help you in your parenting skills. Inside you will find a Christian point of view, awe-inspiring stories and quotes, and many resources for you to help and inspire you.

Running Away to Home

Running Away to Home

A middle class, Midwestern family in search of meaning uproot themselves and move to their ancestral village in Croatia "We can look at this in two ways," Jim wrote, always the pragmatist. "We can panic and scrap the whole idea. Or we can take this as a sign. They're saying the economy is going to get worse before it gets better. Maybe this is the kick in the pants we needed to do something completely different. There will always be an excuse not to go..." And that, friends, is how a typically sane middle-aged mother decided to drag her family back to a forlorn mountain village in the backwoods of Croatia. So begins the author Jennifer Wilson's journey in Running Away to Home. Jen, her architect husband, Jim, and their two children had been living the typical soccer- and ballet-practice life in the most Middle American of places: Des Moines, Iowa. They overindulged themselves and their kids, and as a family they were losing one another in the rush of work, school, and activities. One day, Jen and her husband looked at each other-both holding their Starbucks coffee as they headed out to their SUV in the mall parking lot, while the kids complained about the inferiority of the toys they just got-and asked themselves: "Is this the American dream? Because if it is, it sort of sucks." Jim and Jen had always dreamed of taking a family sabbatical in another country, so when they lost half their savings in the stock-market crash, it seemed like just a crazy enough time to do it. High on wanderlust, they left the troubled landscape of contemporary America for the Croatian mountain village of Mrkopalj, the land of Jennifer's ancestors. It was a village that seemed hermetically sealed for the last one hundred years, with a population of eight hundred (mostly drunken) residents and a herd of sheep milling around the post office. For several months they lived like locals, from milking the neighbor's cows to eating roasted pig on a spit to desperately seeking the village recipe for bootleg liquor. As the Wilson-Hoff family struggled to stay sane (and warm), what they found was much deeper and bigger than themselves.
