R — the statistical and graphical environment is rapidly emerging as an important set of teaching and research tools for biologists.

Topics covered include: simple hypothesis testing, graphing exploratory data analysis and graphical summaries regres...
"The King of Siam" is a book of thirteen short stories -- stories set at a dinner party between brittle friends; over a game of chess in a community centre; a visit to a racetrack in Vancouver; a poker room in Las Vegas. The characters in this book are at the fringes of society and the tattered edges of their own lives -- a teenage boy who defends his wastrel father for the first and last time; a cynical woman who attends a bizarre memorial service for someone she doesn't know, celebrating something she can't quite identify; an elderly woman, determined not to be a little-old-lady, who gets a tattoo. "The King of Siam" takes the reader into territory that is compellingly strange, hauntingly familiar.
"Regarded internationally as one of the surfing world's top line-up surf photographers, Logan Murray has had a long New Zealand career spanning five decades. 'Line-up' is his second book, and features his best contemporary work, stunning images for the surfing connoisseur of perfect New Zealand waves. These photographs come from Murray's home patch on the east coast of the North Island, as well as the Bay of Plenty and Coromandel, though their appeal is universal. Many of these images have been cover shots or double-page spreads for the world's most prestigious surf publications. Publicity-shy, Logan Murray remains an enigma to many New Zealand surfers, but he has never stopped writing stories and taking photographs of amazing waves in pristine New Zealand locations."--Publisher's description.
Logan Murray is a name that has been synonymous with surfing in New Zealand since most surfers can remember. He is indisputably this countrys most well-known surf photographer and he has held that position for more than three decades. In 2001 he became the first photo-journalist to be inducted into the New Zealand Surfing Hall of Fame. The majority of the photographs in this book - empty wave and line-up photography, surf action on both shortboard and longboard, and a number of rural scenic shots - will be seen here by eyes other than Logan Murrays for the first time ever. THE SURF PHOTOGRAPHY OF LOGAN MURRAY is a superbly produced coffee table book of beautiful images - a book that is already part of New Zealand's history.

"Why would a former football star like Logan Murray pay attention to her? Bianca Wright was a far cry from the beautiful women she'd seen him with in the tabloids. He was just being kind. Or even worse - felt sorry for her. He knew she was a widow with an autistic son. That had to be too much baggage for any man, and Bianca wouldn't accept anything but the best for her child. But if Logan could use his connections to match her son drew with a therapy dog, she's swallow her pride and accept his help. And yet, after fifteen minutes with Drew, Logan seemed to "get it" better than Drew's own father ever did. Had Bianca misjudged him? May he had hidden depths. She would've liked to find out, but that was a risk she just wouldn't take ... not when her precious boy was involved"--Page 4 of cover.
