Applied Survey Sampling
Written for students and researchers who wish to understand the conceptual and practical aspects of sampling, Applied Survey Sampling, by Edward A. Blair and Johnny Blair, is designed to be accessible without requiring advanced statistical training. It covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of sampling to special topics such as sampling rare populations, sampling organizational populations, and sampling visitors to a place. Using cases and examples to illustrate sampling principles and procedures, the book thoroughly covers the fundamentals of modern survey sampling, and addresses recent changes in the survey environment such as declining response rates, the rise of Internet surveys, the need to accommodate cell phones in telephone surveys, and emerging uses of social media and big data.
New York 1969
"The 60s were a time of great change: baby boomers were coming into their own; independent from their parents. The Vietnam war was raging, hippies were getting very high, and gloomy talk in New York City was of bankruptcy. Richard Blair was roaming the streets taking dramatic photographs of the city, while his father Ed Blair was living with the Beats in the East Village, performing in off-off Broadway plays and reading his remarkable poetry to the avant-garde. This book is a collaboration of a father and son, whose work in these different art forms has something in common; a love and respect for the common man, (particularly the vulnerable), whimsy and humor, and a subtle underlying sense of the blues. The photographs were mostly taken in the late sixties and the poems written a few years earlier. It is an unusual pairing, poetry and photography, but the father and son relationship which made this book possible was a deep one."--Book jacket.
OVER THE BACKYARD FENCE
Over the Backyard Fence is an account of a man’s search for his past among the relics of someone else’s life. In the early 1990s, Edwin Billick is lost in his present situation. For him, nothing seems to connect. He appears to himself caught in a never-ending treadmill of “sameness.” His days are simply pass-through, misty shadows of the same people, places, and conversations. Always the same outcomes confront him. His job is dull and made worse by the same uninteresting but necessary people. On the verge of microinsanity, he suddenly decides to return to his childhood place of birth. The suddenness of his decision takes him and his coworker by surprise. Once home, he finds more than what he sought and less than what drove him on this return journey to his past. Transfixed by his menacing backyard fence, he relives again the hated sameness, but this time the pain of the sensation is shared—but not by him alone.
