A highly personal account of the travels of Max Finkelstein as he retraces, some two hundred years later, the route of Alexander Mackenzie, the first European to cross North America (1793). Mackenzie's water trail is now commemorated as the Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route.

More than just a travelogue of a canoe trip across Canada, this is an account that crosses more than two centuries. It is an exploration into the heart and mind of Alexander Mackenzie, the explorer, and Max Finkelstein, the "Voyageur-in-Training." Using Mackenzie's journals and his own journal writings, the...

Focusing on shocks modelling, burn-in and heterogeneous populations, Stochastic Modelling for Reliability naturally combines these three topics in the unified stochastic framework and presents numerous practical examples that illustrate recent theoretical findings of the authors.

The populations of manufactured items in industry are usually heterogeneous. However, the conventional reliability analysis is performed under the implicit assumption of homogeneity, which can result in distortion of the corresponding reliability indices and various misconceptions....

Failure Rate Modeling for Reliability and Risk focuses on reliability theory and, specifically, to the failure rate (the hazard rate, the force of mortality) modeling and its generalizations to systems operating in a random environment and to repairable systems. The failure rate is one of the crucial probabilistic characteristics for a number of disciplines; including reliability, survival analysis, risk analysis and demography.

Failure Rate Modeling for Reliability and Risk presents a systematic study of the failure rate and related indices, and covers a number of...

Daniel Finkelsteins bedeutendes Buch ist ein eindringliches Porträt seiner Mutter und seines Vaters und ihrer erschütternden Erfahrungen von Verfolgung, Widerstand und Überleben im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Daniels Mutter Mirjam wurde in Berlin geboren. Ihr Vater Alfred Wiener war der Erste, der erkannte, was für eine Gefahr von Hitler für die Juden ausging.
