This new edition presents the essential topics in probability and statistics from a rigorous standpoint. Any discipline involving randomness, including medicine, engineering, and any area of scientific research, must have a way of analyzing or even predicting the outcomes of an experiment. The authors focus on the tools for doing so in a thorough, yet introductory way.  After providing an overview of the basics of probability, the authors cover essential topics such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. These subjects are presented in a one semester...

The major elements of environmental economics are clearly described and illustrated for the noneconomist in this timely work. Business practitioners, environmental scientists, planners and engineers, and students will gain a broad understanding of what economics may contribute to environmental assessment and decisionmaking. The presentation is largely nonmathematical.

Emphasizing critical assumptions and intuitive logic, this overview of the theoretical foundations allows readers from a variety of backgrounds to develop and apply tools needed to function effectively in the increasingly...

At each point in time, individuals make choices with respect to the acquisition, sale, and/or use of a variety of different goods. Such activity can be summarized by aggregate variables such as an economy's total production of various goods and services, the aggregate level of unemployment, the general level of interest rates, and the overall level of prices.

The focus of this book is on developing simple theoretical models that provide insight into the reasons for fluctuations in such aggregate variables. The models included explore how shocks or 'impulses' to the economy...

First published in 1957, 'Adventure in Play' is a report on one of the first experimental adventure playgrounds in the UK, funded by the National Playing Fields Association (now 'Fields in Trust'). An original idea of the Danish landscape architect, C.T. SOrenson, adventure playgrounds aimed to provide children with designated space to do what mattered to them, rather than to the adults for whom urban spaces were designed. The adventure playground pioneers saw adventure playgrounds as a potential solution to a fundamental problem in society, described by Mays as "the wide cleavage...
