Making History Count
Making History Count introduces the main quantitative methods used in historical research. The emphasis is on intuitive understanding and application of the concepts, rather than formal statistics; no knowledge of mathematics beyond simple arithmetic is required. The techniques are illustrated by applications in social, political, demographic and economic history. Students will learn to read and evaluate the application of the quantitative methods used in many books and articles, and to assess the historical conclusions drawn from them. They will also see how quantitative techniques can open up new aspects of an enquiry, and supplement and strengthen other methods of research. This textbook will encourage students to recognize the benefits of using quantitative methods in their own research projects. The text is clearly illustrated with tables, graphs and diagrams, leading the student through key topics. Additional support includes five specific historical data-sets, available from the Cambridge website.
The Uncertain Hand
This book traces the sometimes bizarre and comical history of taxi regulations in Hong Kong. It compares the history of regulation changes to developments in the taxi business, including the rise and fall of the illegal taxi trade, the patterns of taxi accidents, malpractice complaints, and taxi license prices.

In essence, this is an analysis of how people in the taxi business have studied the process of governmental regulation. The dispersion and volatility of taxi license auction prices, reveal the results of these studies and say more about their conclusions than any library of academic works will ever do.

Improving the Decision Making Abilities of Small Unit Leaders
For the past decade, the U.S. Marine Corps and its sister services have been engaged in what has been termed "hybrid warfare," which ranges from active combat to civilian support.

In August 2010, the National Research Council established the Committee on Improving the Decision Making Abilities of Small Unit Leaders to produce Improving the Decision Making Abilities of Small Unit Leaders. This report examines the operational environment, existing abilities, and gap to include ...
