Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way
Fun guide to learning Bayesian statistics and probability through unusual and illustrative examples. Probability and statistics are increasingly important in a huge range of professions. But many people use data in ways they don't even understand, meaning they aren't getting the most from it. Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way will change that. This book will give you a complete understanding of Bayesian statistics through simple explanations and un-boring examples. Find out the probability of UFOs landing in your garden, how likely Han Solo is to survive a flight through an asteroid shower, how to win an argument about conspiracy theories, and whether a burglary really was a burglary, to name ...
Get Programming with Haskell
Summary Get Programming with Haskell leads you through short lessons, examples, and exercises designed to make Haskell your own. It has crystal-clear illustrations and guided practice. You will write and test dozens of interesting programs and dive into custom Haskell modules. You will gain a new perspective on programming plus the practical ability to use Haskell in the everyday world. (The 80 IQ points: not guaranteed.) Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the Technology Programming languages often differ only around the edges—a few keywords, libraries, or platform choices. Haskell gives you an entirely new poi...
Kurt
Fifty-six-year-old rock star Kurt and his rock band set up to create their new album in Cornwall. They are joined by the lyricist Leah, who agrees to help them with the lyrics for the new songs. Everything is going well until one night one of the band's roadie and Leah's taxi driver are killed. Clues led to two different killers. One wants to kill Kurt and the other Leah. Then both are subsequently shot by a sniper. The investigation was unsuccessful, and the police inspectors send Leah far away and use Kurt to get the killers to show up. However, new revelations about Leah's identity confuse the musician. Kurt’s life will turn in an unexpected direction for him, and new and new revelations will make Kurt realize that he has unwittingly intervened in something from which he will hardly be able to escape.
Crazy about Kurt
"...Taking place over one night in the dirtbag suburbs of Long Island, the novel follow four friends who struggle with sex, identity, and the inevitability of adulthood, all against the backdrop of Kurt Cobain's suicide...'Crazy about Kurt' is a mediation on a generation at a very specific time and place. It is steeped in pop culture, told with humor, emotion, and nostalgia. This isn't just a story for those 90's kids who grew up on Tori Amos, Jurassic Park and The X-Files--it's a story for anyone who's ever been a teenager"--From back cover.

Max and four fellow students—who also received invites—are standing on the newly defaced water tower when campus security "catches" them. Defi...
Haskell in Depth
Software for high-precision tasks like financial transactions, defense systems, and scientific research must be absolutely, provably correct. As a purely functional programming language, Haskell enforces a mathematically rigorous approach that can lead to concise, efficient, and bug-free code. To write such code you'll need deep understanding. You can get it from this book! Haskell in depth unlocks a new level of skill with this challenging language. Goging beyond the basics of syntax and structure, this book opens up critical topics like advanced types, concurrency, and data processing. You'll discover key parts of the Haskell ecosystem and master core design patterns that will transform how you write software.
Bernoulli's Fallacy
There is a logical flaw in the statistical methods used across experimental science. This fault is not a minor academic quibble: it underlies a reproducibility crisis now threatening entire disciplines. In an increasingly statistics-reliant society, this same deeply rooted error shapes decisions in medicine, law, and public policy with profound consequences. The foundation of the problem is a misunderstanding of probability and its role in making inferences from observations. Aubrey Clayton traces the history of how statistics went astray, beginning with the groundbreaking work of the seventeenth-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Cla...
Kurt Vonnegut's America
A definitive look at the symbiotic relationship between Vonnegut's writing and American culture. Kurt Vonnegut's death in 2007 marked the passing of a major force in American life and letters. Jerome Klinkowitz, one of the earliest and most prolific authorities on Vonnegut, examines the long dialogue between the author and American culture—a conversation that produced fourteen novels and hundreds of short stories and essays. Kurt Vonnegut's America integrates discussion of the fiction, essays, and lectures with personal exchanges and biographical sketches to map the complex symbiotic relationship between Vonnegut's work and the cultural context from which it emerged—and which it in turn ...
Pushing the Limits: Life, Marathons & Kokoda
When Kurt Fearnley was a kid, he would leave his wheelechair at the front gate and go exploring with his brothers and sisters. 'You're going to have to be stronger than we are,' they told him, 'and we know you will be.' The boy from Carcoar was raised to believe he could do anything. At fifteen, he won his first medal. Then he conquered the world, winning three Paralympic gold medals, seven world championships and more than 35 marathons. A world-beater in and out of his wheelchair, Kurt is a true Australian champion. Inspiring, exhilarating and highly entertaining, Pushing the Limits takes us inside the mind of a kid with a disability growing up in a tiny town, a teenager finding his place i...
