East Plays West
The Cold War spanned some five decades from the devastation that remained after World War Two until the fall of the Berlin wall, and for much of that time the perception was that only on the Eastern side were politics and sport inextricably linked. However, this assumption underestimates the extent to which sport was an important symbol for both power blocs in their ongoing ideological struggle. This collection of essays from leading international authorities on sport, culture and ideology brings together an impressive body of work organized around key political themes and outstanding moments in sport, and is at once a political history of sport and an illuminating new perspective on the forces that shaped this unsettled time.
Murderer of the Year
In "Murderer of the Year," journalist Bill Bowman brings you behind the scenes of an investigation and trial that rocked an upscale New Jersey borough. Friends are shocked when Gene Berta, a married man with children, captain of the local rescue squad, a man named "Man of the Year" for his life-saving work, is accused of murdering Catherine Neal Warner, a pretty, petite 29-year-old nurse with whom he'd been having an affair for a decade. Immediately after Warner's body is found, detectives from the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office began to piece together the puzzle that would lead them to Berta: items such as a daily calendar and Warner's wrist watch. "Murderer of the Year" takes you into Warner's home when detectives make the surprising discovery that leads to Berta's arrest, and into the courtroom for the bombshell revelation that seals his fate.
Statistical Ecology
Covering a wide range of disciplines, this book explains the formulae, techniques, and methods used in field ecology. By providing an awareness of the statistical foundation for existing methods, the book will make biologists more aware of the strengths and possible weaknesses of procedures employed, and statisticians more appreciative of the needs of the field ecologist. Unique to this book is a focus on ecological data for single-species populations, from sampling through modeling. Examples come from real situations in pest management, forestry, wildlife biology, plant protection, and environmental studies, as well as from classical ecology. All those using this book will acquire a strong foundation in the statistical methods of modern ecological research. This textbook is for late undergraduate and graduate students, and for professionals.
