Some of life's transitions lead to a love we have only dreamed of, but others can traumatize and overwhelm us completely. As a result, we feel discouraged and disenchanted as we quietly start to wonder about the meaning of life. John Edwards understands this deeply as he takes us on an elegant, insightful, and profound journey of his personal experiences that are a jumping-off point for discussing how cultural, psychological, and sociological influences determine the nature of our happiness and disappointments. John invites us into his incredible odyssey of life events with humor, vulnerability, and courage. In his story, he explores the challenges of navigating through the joy of falling in love, providing for his family, and the painful disruptions of infidelity, divorce, and estrangement with passion and empathy. A unique and beautifully written book that interweaves the theme of musical songs and lyrics as a timeline and vehicle of emotional expression that mere written words could not suffice. John writes, "Music binds us in a way that language rarely does. Music is the window to the soul." With the authority and wisdom that come with seventy years of human existence, John Edwards provides a compassionate and compelling story relatable to almost every human emotion we feel. It is a story of where John came from, what hopes and dreams he fought for, and what single dynamic is most important regarding the true meaning of life. It's the story of his life. This book should be read as it is extraordinary and unforgettable. It will bring forth lessons and memories of your encounters that will forever be carved into your hearts.

Download or read book Limnology written by Alexander J. Horne and published by McGraw-Hill Science, Engineering & Mathematics. This book was released on 1994 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for biology and environmental sciences students, this study of lake systems covers the physics, chemistry and biology of lakes. The text includes ecosystem examples to illustrate basic concepts in limnology. The examples are drawn from all over the world - Africa, the Americas, Antarctica, the Arctic, Europe, Japan and New Zealand. This wide array of examples allows the authors to point out marked differences in size, basin shape, climate and biota, while illustrating a unity of principles in limnology. The number of topics is limited so that major subjects - such as physical conditions within lake systems, applications to the LIST environment, and the success of big rivers, streams and estuaries - can be covered in more depth.

Download or read book The Continental League written by Russell D. Buhite and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before there was Moneyball, a group of investors led by baseball legend Branch Rickey proposed a new economic model for baseball. Based on an innovative approach to evaluating and developing talent, the Continental League was the last serious attempt to form a third Major League. The league’s brief history affords a glimpse of any number of missed chances for America’s game. As one of the original Continental Leaguers, historian Russell D. Buhite is—literally—talking “inside baseball” when he describes what happened in 1959 and 1960. Part memoir, part history, his account of the origin, development, and eventual undoing of the Continental League explores the organization’s collective corporate structure as well as its significant role in building a thriving Minor League and forcing expansion on Major League Baseball. Buhite captures a lost era in baseball history and examines its lasting impact on the game.

The book provides an excellent opportunity to explain physics at a relatively simple level, even though the primary objective is to explain the many subtle features concerning the physics of baseball. For those readers who already know quite a bit of physics and who will be comfortable with mathematical equations, additional material of this nature will be provided in appendices. The latest research findings and statistical data have been incorporated by the author. The book also contains many simple experiments that the reader can perform to convince themselves that the effects described do indeed exist.

Download or read book Find Your Fit written by Augie Heath and published by Augie Heath. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find Your Fit: A Guide Through The College Athletics Recruiting Process was written by Augie Heath while he was still in college playing football on full scholarship for Sacramento State. Augie wrote Find Your Fit to serve as the book he wishes he had after going through the recruiting process himself twice (once as a high school recruit, and later as a junior college student-athlete). In Find Your Fit, Augie writes about how he put himself in a position to earn a full Division I athletic scholarship, what it is like to go through the college athletics recruiting process, how he would guide current student-athletes through their own athletic recruitment, as well as what it is really like to be a Division I student-athlete. During his recruitment, Augie received scholarship offers from Division I-FCS, Division II, and Division III schools. He received Preferred Walk-On offers from multiple Division I-FBS universities, took multiple official visits, negotiated scholarship amounts face-to-face with multiple college coaches, and ultimately fulfilled his dream of playing Division I football on a full ride scholarship. Find Your Fit is different than any other recruiting guide out there in the respect that it was written by a college student-athlete who actually went through the recruiting process. Augie writes about his own athletic recruitment, what he did right, what he did wrong, and the mind games he saw coaches play with recruits and walk-on teammates. In the book, you will see that Augie gives clear thoughts on how to get noticed by college coaches, the most effective things you can do to take control of your own recruitment, how to find the school that is the right fit for you, and how to put yourself in position to get the most scholarship money possible. Getting a sports scholarship is a realistic and achievable goal. Find Your Fit is an easy read that makes sense and helps you take the right steps towards getting your college education paid for!

Download or read book Statistical Regression and Classification written by Norman Matloff and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical Regression and Classification: From Linear Models to Machine Learning takes an innovative look at the traditional statistical regression course, presenting a contemporary treatment in line with today's applications and users. The text takes a modern look at regression: * A thorough treatment of classical linear and generalized linear models, supplemented with introductory material on machine learning methods. * Since classification is the focus of many contemporary applications, the book covers this topic in detail, especially the multiclass case. * In view of the voluminous nature of many modern datasets, there is a chapter on Big Data. * Has special Mathematical and Computational Complements sections at ends of chapters, and exercises are partitioned into Data, Math and Complements problems. * Instructors can tailor coverage for specific audiences such as majors in Statistics, Computer Science, or Economics. * More than 75 examples using real data. The book treats classical regression methods in an innovative, contemporary manner. Though some statistical learning methods are introduced, the primary methodology used is linear and generalized linear parametric models, covering both the Description and Prediction goals of regression methods. The author is just as interested in Description applications of regression, such as measuring the gender wage gap in Silicon Valley, as in forecasting tomorrow's demand for bike rentals. An entire chapter is devoted to measuring such effects, including discussion of Simpson's Paradox, multiple inference, and causation issues. Similarly, there is an entire chapter of parametric model fit, making use of both residual analysis and assessment via nonparametric analysis. Norman Matloff is a professor of computer science at the University of California, Davis, and was a founder of the Statistics Department at that institution. His current research focus is on recommender systems, and applications of regression methods to small area estimation and bias reduction in observational studies. He is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Statistical Computation and the R Journal. An award-winning teacher, he is the author of The Art of R Programming and Parallel Computation in Data Science: With Examples in R, C++ and CUDA.
