This festschrift is dedicated to Professor Howell Tong on the occasion of his 65th birthday. With a Foreword written by Professor Peter Whittle, FRS, it celebrates Tong's path-breaking and tireless contributions to nonlinear time series analysis, chaos and statistics, by reprinting 10 selected papers by him and his collaborators, which are interleaved with 17 original reviews, written by 19 international experts.Through these papers and reviews, readers will have an opportunity to share many of the excitements, retrospectively and prospectively, of the relatively new subject of nonlinear time series. Tong has played a leading role in laying the foundation of the subject; his innovative and authoritative contributions are reflected in the review articles in the volume, which describe modern and related developments in the subject, including applications in many major fields such as ecology, economics, finance and others. This volume will be useful to researchers and students interested in the theory and practice of nonlinear time series analysis.
The beautiful Victorian Mansion stood vacant and alone for decades. It held all of its secrets behind locked doors, until a young girl turned the key in the lock and walked into the waiting mansion. Little did Donna Mae know she would be the one who unleashed and set free the stories of forgotten people.A dragon chained in a dungeon, now walked darkened halls his stench smelt again.There was great Aunt Ruth, who was beautiful but unmarried in her late thirties. She loved the Lord and devoted her life to Him.Aunt Ruth's great niece, Carley was sixteen when her dad sold her to five soldiers going off to war for a night of pleasure. Out of this horrible tragedy, God blessed Carley. Within her womb twins grew and Aunt Ruth prayed and we all know that the prayer of a righteous person avails much with the Lord....I live in the Sonoran Desert with my husband Larry, three cats and our Rottweiler, Strider. I love to grow things. I water most of the plants by hand with a hose, with Strider by my side. I paint pictures using water colors and ink, as my medium, when I have time.
Coping with the Future: Theories and Practices of Divination in East Asia offers insights into various techniques of divination, their evolution, and their assessment. The contributions cover the period from the earliest documents on East Asian mantic arts to their appearance in the present time. The volume reflects the pervasive manifestations of divination in literature, religious and political life, and their relevance for society and individuals. Special emphasis is placed on cross-cultural influences and attempts to find theoretical foundations for divinatory practices. This edited volume is an initiative to study the phenomena of divination across East Asian cultures and beyond. It is also one of the first attempts to theorize divinatory practices through East Asian traditions.
This is the annual journal of the Marine Biological Association of Hong Kong. It contains papers on marine subjects of interest to all Asian biologists.
