Taking a practical approach that draws on the authors’ extensive teaching, consulting, and research experiences, Applied Survey Data Analysis provides an intermediate-level statistical overview of the analysis of complex sample survey data. It emphasizes methods and worked examples using available software procedures while reinforcing the principles and theory that underlie those methods.
Bringing together interior design and architectural theory, this exciting text looks at the common practices of building alteration, reconsidering established ideas and methods, to initiate the creation of a theory of the interior or interventional design.
Fundamentals of Modern Statistical Methods: Substantially Improving Power and Accuracy
Conventional statistical methods have a very serious flaw.

Hundreds of journal articles have described the reasons standard techniques can be unsatisfactory, but simple, intuitive explanations are generally unavailable. Improved methods have been derived, but they are far from obvious or intuitive based on the training most researchers receive. Situations arise where even highly nonsignificant results become significant when analyzed with more modern methods.

I have been studying Daoist meditation and healing methods and found a great similarity in this book in describing the non-verbal holistic "powers" of the mind.

Let the chit chat in your mind quiet down, drop your expectations and see what happens. You might be surprised at the powerful results
This completely self-contained study, widely considered the best book in the field, is intended to serve both as an introduction to quantification theory and as an exposition of new results and techniques in "analytic" or "cut-free" methods. Presented in tableau format, the material covers propositional and first-order logic. 144 illustrations.
