In From Nothing to 90, Will Klein chronicles his life from hardscrabble beginnings as an adopted child in a Saskatchewan family struggling through the “Dirty Thirties” to early success as a newsboy and onto great business achievement despite numerous setbacks throughout his life. In colourful, humorous, observant prose, Will takes readers from Depression-era Saskatchewan through his rise in business in the early days of television to his leadership in a storied public service organization that takes him around the world and into a whirlwind of political machinations that threatens to destroy him. At its heart, From Nothing to 90 is an inspiring story about Saskatchewan: its history, hardships, and opportunities. But it’s also a book about individual initiative, seizing opportunity, and never giving up even after government betrayal and setbacks that might appear insurmountable.

Strength in Numbers: The Rising of Academic Statistics Departments in the U. S.

Statistical science as organized in formal academic departments is relatively new. With a few exceptions, most Statistics and Biostatistics departments have been created within the past 60 years. This book consists of a set of memoirs, one for each department in the U.S. created by the mid-1960s. The memoirs describe key aspects of the department’s history -- its founding, its growth, key people in its development, success stories (such as major research accomplishments) and the occasional failure story, PhD graduates who have had a significant impact, its impact on statistical education, and a summary of where the department stands today and its vision for the future. Read here all about how departments such as at Berkeley, Chicago, Harvard, and Stanford started and how they got to where they are today. The book should also be of interests to scholars in the field of disciplinary history.

In Heaven Everything Is Fine

On March 3, 1983, Peter Ivers was found bludgeoned to death in his loft in downtown Los Angeles, ending a short-lived but essential pop cultural moment that has been all but lost to history. For the two years leading up to his murder, Ivers had hosted the underground but increasingly popular LA-based music and sketch-comedy cable show New Wave Theatre. The late '70s through early '80s was an explosive time for pop culture: Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon were leading a comedy renaissance, while punk rock and new wave were turning the music world on its head. New Wave Theatre brought together for the first time comedians-turned-Hollywood players like John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Ha...
