Human Evolution
The study of human evolution is advancing rapidly. New fossil evidence is adding ever more pieces to the puzzle of our past; the new science of ancient DNA is completely reshaping theories of early human populations and migrations. Bernard Wood traces the field of palaeoanthropology from its beginnings in the eighteenth century to the present.
The Adventures of Bernard the Dragon
Many years ago, before you were born, before your parents were born and before their parents were born, there was a strange and magical land called Quinkanna. Quinkanna was a peaceful land ruled by the kindest King and Queen ever to have lived. The King and Queen lived peacefully with their two young children; Prince Benjamin the Wild and Princess Jessica the Wise. The last time their land had been threatened was during the Great Dragon War when the fiercest dragons had nearly destroyed Quinkanna. No dragon had been seen in Quinkanna for a thousand years. Until now. The discovery of a friendly dragon cub in the land followed by a mysterious illness that befalls the beautiful Princess Jessica threatens to destroy the happiness that had been bestowed on the land for so many years. When the wisest healers in the land are unable to cure the child it falls to the brave little dragon cub to take on an incredible quest to save her, and all of Quinkanna, from the threat of the Wonambi Dragons!

The Sharpe Book
The Sharpe book applies classical statistical testing procedures to the problem of measuring the performance of financial assets. The statistical properties of the Sharpe ratio are thoroughly explored, for Gaussian returns via the connection to Student's t statistic, and asymptotically. The effects of heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, fat tails and skew of returns are considered.Portfolio optimization with the objective of maximizing the Sharpe ratio is studied. Inference on the Markowitz portfolio, and its signal-noise ratio, are explored via the connection to Hotelling's T2 statistic. Portfolio subspace and hedging constraints, the use of conditioning information, and overfitting and overoptimism are given thorough treatment.Inference is considered via Frequentist, Likelihood and Bayesian paradigms. With dozens of examples and hundreds of exercises, the Sharpe Book is an essential reference for the practicing quant strategist and the researcher alike, and an invaluable textbook for the student.
Democracy: A Very Short Introduction
No political concept is more used, and misused, than that of democracy. Nearly every regime today claims to be democratic, but not all 'democracies' allow free politics, and free politics existed long before democratic franchises. This book is a short account of the history of the doctrine and practice of democracy, from ancient Greece and Rome through the American, French, and Russian revolutions, and of the usages and practices associated with it in the modern world. It argues that democracy is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for good government, and that ideas of the rule of law, and of human rights, should in some situations limit democratic claims. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
