Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HER HOT FLUSHES MUST BE THE PERI-MENOPAUSE. THEY SURELY COULDN'T BE ... LOVE? Lisa Darling - high-flying TV-exec and twice-divorced mother-of-two - has enough on her plate without having to deal with the handsome New Yorker parachuted in to her best friend's job at work. She's already navigating life with a grotty teenage son, organising a PTA cheese & wine event, supporting her oldest friend through breast cancer treatment and, since she hit 47, facing a new perimenopause symptom every day. It's no wonder she never has time for Pilates or that DIY panelling she keeps seeing on Instagram (though she'd be the first to admit she'd rather share a bottle of wine with her friends any day). So when Lisa starts feeling overheated every time she clashes with Zach Russo, she convinces herself it will pass. Maybe her HRT just needs adjusting. Until, that is, she finds herself in a sexy - and seriously ill-advised - clinch with him. And then another . . All of which leads to one question: these long-forgotten feelings couldn't be caused by something else entirely . . . could they? Fun, frank and fabulous, Lisa Darling is the romantic comedy heroine we've ALL been waiting for!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best spy story; the worst spy. Save the world? Or save Miss Sweden? It's an easy choice. The LSD is not interested in Agneta Larsson, a former Swedish Miss who'll soon be a formidable Swedish President. The LSD is only interested in some documents in Agneta Larsson's safe. They send Benny, The Runner, to copy these documents and get out. A simple mission; Agneta isn't even at home. Agneta hasn't been at home for a while. Agneta has disappeared. Her sister Frieda is worried. She calls Agneta's phone. Benny picks it up… Why should he help Frieda? Let her call the Stockholm police. He'll lose his job. He might lose his life. The LSD never interferes with foreign politics. Spies follow the rules of logic. Spies follow orders. Real spies are tough. But Benny isn't a real spy. He's just a Runner, and he can't stand a woman crying… Mission «Miss Missing» might mean a miserable, mortal mistake.

Download or read book Thinking Through Statistics written by John Levi Martin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simply put, Thinking Through Statistics is a primer on how to maintain rigorous data standards in social science work, and one that makes a strong case for revising the way that we try to use statistics to support our theories. But don’t let that daunt you. With clever examples and witty takeaways, John Levi Martin proves himself to be a most affable tour guide through these scholarly waters. Martin argues that the task of social statistics isn't to estimate parameters, but to reject false theory. He illustrates common pitfalls that can keep researchers from doing just that using a combination of visualizations, re-analyses, and simulations. Thinking Through Statistics gives social science practitioners accessible insight into troves of wisdom that would normally have to be earned through arduous trial and error, and it does so with a lighthearted approach that ensures this field guide is anything but stodgy.

Download or read book The Book of Why written by Judea Pearl and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.
