Data Analysis in Forensic Science: A Bayesian Decision Perspective

This is the first text to examine the use of statistical methods in forensic science and bayesian statistics in combination. The book is split into two parts: Part One concentrates on the philosophies of statistical inference. Chapter One examines the differences between the frequentist, the likelihood and the Bayesian perspectives, before Chapter Two explores the Bayesian decision–theoretic perspective further, and looks at the benefits it carries.

The book embeds a description and an analysis of the Old English numeral system into a broader, cross-linguistic discussion. It pres a theoretical framework for the study of numerals and numeral systems of natural languages, bridging the gap between recent findings in the cognitive sciences on numeracy and the known typological generalisations on cardinal numerals. The Old English numeral system shows a number of peculiarities not found in the present-day languages of Europe.

Rick Sammon's HDR Secrets for Digital Photographers

High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is a process in which a photographer shoots multiple shots of the same subject at varying exposure settings and then "stitches" the images together with photo–editing software into a single photo that presents sharper color and focus than a single image. World–renowned digital photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Rick Sammon reveals his most amazing HDR tips, tricks, and techniques for creating the best possible HDR images.

Measure, Integration and Functional Analysis

The subject matter of this book is fundamental to all areas of mathematical analysis and should be accessible to students who are in the early stages of their professional training. An undergraduate course in real variables is a prerequisite, and an acquaintance with complex analysis is desirable. However, since no use is made of the Cauchy theory, the exposure to complex variables need not be extensive. To fully appreciate Chapters 3 and 4 some background in elementary point-set topology is essential. 

The Student's Guide to Financial Literacy

The recent global financial crisis was caused, at least in part, by the financial ignorance of many consumers. Many students and young adults in particular have never been taught the basics of financial planning. Yet, the earlier people move from financial illiteracy to literacy, the greater the benefits that will accumulate over time. As The Student's Guide to Financial Literacy makes clear, practices adopted in the early years of adulthood can have the most dramatic effect on a personÕs ultimate quality of life, level of success, and age of retirement.
