To help dispel these misconceptions, Gelman and Nolan have put together this fascinating and thought-provoking book. Based on years of teaching experience the book provides a wealth of demonstrations, examples and projects that involve active student participation. Part I of the book presents a large selection of activities for introductory statistics courses and combines chapters such as, 'First week of class', with exercises to break the ice and get students talking; then 'Descriptive statistics' , collecting and displaying data; then follows the traditional topics - linear regression, data collection, probability and inference. Part II gives tips on what does and what doesn't work in class: how to set up effective demonstrations and examples, how to encourage students to participate in class and work effectively in group projects. A sample course plan is provided. Part III presents material for more advanced courses on topics such as decision theory, Bayesian statistics and sampling.

This book was released on 2008-12-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sneaky Chef now targets the other picky eater in the family! For parents of finicky eaters, The Sneaky Chef was the answer to their prayers, giving them solutions for hiding healthy food in the meals kids crave. Within a month of publication, it was a New York Times bestseller. But author Missy Chase Lapine knew another secret: the kids aren't the only ones in the family not eating their veggies! Hundreds of women wrote to tell her how the men in their lives were consistently making poor choices when it came to their diet. Men know they should eat better, but the classic male perception is that fruits and veggies are "rabbit food" and don't seem to satisfy their appetite. Now "The Sneaky Chef" has donned her apron again and developed delicious recipes that are sure to appeal to guys. Recipes include "Macho Meatballs," "Love Me Tenderloin," and "Champion Chili." These hearty meals successfully cloak ingredients that specifically target men's health issues: foods proven to help the heart, lower cholesterol, ensure a healthy prostate, and other concerns. Now everyone in the family (kids and adults alike) can benefit from The Sneaky Chef's bag of tricks.
Download or read book A Book of Tricks written by Emma Cooke and published by Wynkin deWorde Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the very beginning I expected my mother to climb back down from wherever she'd hidden herself..." So Fran, youngest daughter of Henry and Jane Cleeve, starts to record a tale of disappearances and intrigue that begin with her mother's suicide. The counterpart to Fran's narrative is her father Henry's version of the same series of disappearances and intrigue that eventually bring his world tumbling around his ears. Weaving in and out of the two narrations are Fran's brothers and sisters, her best friend Beth - daughter of double-dealing Nat Page - Fran's fanatical Aunt Theo and Henry's ladyfriend, Myrna. Although both narrators - the young girl and the middle-aged father - yearn for happiness, destructive forces are at work and Jane's suicide casts an inescapable shadow that forces both their destinies along treacherous paths. Cooke explodes the armoury of illusion and self-delusion and the subconscious conjuring of reasoning we all employ to protect ourselves from pain.

Download or read book The Trick is to Keep Breathing written by Janice Galloway and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inventive first novel explores the widespread problem of female depression. A 27-year-old drama teacher named Joy Stone is losing her grip on the world. The problems of everyday living accumulate and begin to torture the narrator, who blames her problems not on her work or on the accidental death of her illict lover, but on herself. She reads horoscopes, plucks hairs, holds conversations inside and outside herself. A terrible memory tries to unfold but is resisted. Family and friends take on monstrous or pitiful guises; food threatens to become a major character. Clutching at the wrong things, the trick is to find those that let life go on. As things seen, things bought, and things said become obsessions, so the author conjures up the homely or horrifying world of litter in which the reader, like the heroine, lives.

A forced sentence leads to a reckless passionÉ Hadley When my husband walked out on me over a year ago, itÊdevastatedÊme. When the divorce papers came, it wrecked me. When we had to sell our house, it broke me.Ê But then he moved in with his new flavor of the month and told our daughterÊhis new womanÊwasnÕt into children.ÊThat pissed me off. Now Riley feels abandoned,Êand I canÕt make it better; no matter how hard I try. IÕm desperateÊto help her adjust to the loss of a male figure in her life. The Companion Program that matches adults up with children who have loneliness and abandonment issuesÊis my last hope.Ê The counselors tell me heÕs doing community service hours, and I ask to sit inÊon his meetings with Riley.ÊTheÊminute I see him astride the matte black Harley, I know neitherÊmyÊnor RileyÕs life will ever be the same again. Trick Community Service. Two words I should be thankful for, but IÕm not. I resent the hoursÊaway from building my business.ÊThe two previous kids I'dÊbeen paired up with didnÕt work out because their mothers were more interested in getting in my bed than making sure their child was taken care of. This next match with aÊlittle girl is my last hope. UnlessÊthisÊkidÊworksÊout, IÕm destined to serve time. When they push her into the room wearing pink converse withÊaÊblack dress, her crazy curls barely held back by the barrette in her hair,Êand studious glasses on her face, I can tell sheÕs scaredÊ- of new people, of change, of being pushed aside. Something inside of meÊbreaks,ÊandÊI want this girl to feel wanted again. What IÕm unprepared for is meeting her mom. The second our hands touch, I see fireworks, bright lights, and a picture of the future I couldÊone dayÊhave. The future IÕveÊneverÊallowed myself to wish for. Community service becomes more than a chore, more than the precious hours I have to give up. In the months that follow, I realize Riley and Hadley are just like me; theyÕve been abandoned, left behind by the world, forgotten by those who should loveÊthem. Thanks to the one last hope in both our lives - weÊfound the light in the darkness weÕd been searching for. Unwrap Me Life gets a little crazy sometimes, especially when you've got two kids, two businesses, and you are two parents who are very hands on.Ê But when Trick's gift doesn't get here in time for Christmas, I have to improvise. They say variety is the spice of life. To keep my man happy, marriage on track, and our sanity, I decide to give him what he craves most in the world. Me. With a bow on top. Patrick Tennyson won't know what hit him. It'll be the surprise of his life, and all he'll have to do is follow the instructions. Trick, Your gift got a little delayed. Instead, I've improvised. Follow the snowflakes to the bedroom. When you get here, unwrap me, and I'm yours. Hadley Christmas is about to get so hot we'll be melting the eight inches expected tonight. ;)
