Remembrances of Gordon Newell
Gordon
Gordon Newell, the sculptor, discovered Big Sur and Carmel in the late 1930's and lived there during the years when artists, writers and poets created a rich culture of their own in those yet undiscovered places.

The book is filled with pictures and anecdotes of a life truly well lived and is an inspiring and moving read.
Ocean Liners of the 20th Century
With his vast collection of photographs and memorabilia, combined with his skill as a writer, Newell truly makes the ships and memories of them become living personalities.

Here are the glamour, majesty and color of the most exciting things ever built—the mammoths of the sea.

The Bravest Hunter
This book explains how Native American Casinos became the largest group of casinos in America as a result of the efforts of Congress, the National Indian Gaming Commission, and the creative management companies and game suppliers that served the tribes. This book is the biography of Gordon Graves, whom many consider being the Father of Indian Gaming. It tracks his early career in military electronics as the field matured from using large analog machines to inventing and utilizing digital computers. Graves then transformed his career as an accomplished engineer involved with military systems to become an entrepreneur in numerous fields, concluding in Indian gaming while building a business (Multimedia Games) worth over a billion dollars. Graves saw the future for Indian gaming and fought alongside the Indians through the courts to develop the industry into what it is today, a forty billion-dollar business. It was a wild ride!
Control of Spatially Structured Random Processes and Random Fields with Applications
This book is devoted to the study and optimization of spatiotemporal stochastic processes - processes which develop simultaneously in space and time under random influences. These processes are seen to occur almost everywhere when studying the global behavior of complex systems. The book presents problems and content not considered in other books on controlled Markov processes, especially regarding controlled Markov fields on graphs.
