This collection of essays on objectivism sets down Ayn Rand's views on individual rights and challenges listeners on all sides of the political fence to consider their views. Although published in 1961 and aimed at the Cold War world, the essays hold up well and often seem related to today's issues and headlines. Most of Rand's barbs are aimed at liberals, but conservatives also draw fire for faltering in defense of liberties and the Constitution. C.M. Herbert reads with a passion and confidence that seems to personify Rand. One especially well-read passage depicts a hypothetical conversation in which she defends her views to a critic.
A cut above chick lit, Dessen’s tale of an It girl who only seems to have it all has sharply drawn characters, serious themes, and a page-turner of a plot. Aimed at high schoolers, it has Mom appeal too.

These lecture notes are intended to be used for master courses, where the students have a limited prior knowledge of special topics in probability. Therefore, we have included many of the preliminaries, such as convergence of random variables, probabilistic bounds, coupling, martingales and branching processes. These notes are aimed to be self-contained, and to give the readers an insight in the history of the field of random graphs.
