Governor William Stoughton, with a disquisition on the devil's machinations...

My name is Granger. I am a Labrador Retriever. I want to be a service dog. It is not always easy. This is my story.(Human's note: The most important take away is that the public, children and adults, need to learn how to not interact with service dogs. As Granger says, "I'm cute. I'm working. Please ignore me.")

This book presents a multi-market framework of market and policy analysis that explicitly accounts for the empirically relevant heterogeneity in consumer preferences and producercharacteristics. The explicit consideration of consumer and producer heterogeneity represents a significant departure from the representative consumer and producer that have been at the center of most of the literature on market and policy analysis, and enables the dis...

The preColumbian peoples had access to exquisite materials: the local fibers were camelid fibers (alpaca and vicuña), cotton and plant fibers (agave, for instance). The ancient Peruvians were also master dyers and have for thousands of years dyed their yarn with indigo blu...

Life is a sequence - and we go from one event to another. I am fascinated by the patterns developed by that sequence, the "what if?" moments that occur once those patterns are recognized. The illustrations for this book are of individuals who represent the points on a line of events in scientific discovery. In some cases they are tangential, and in some cases sequential. The patterns address the problem of "how we got to where we are in regard...

Structural Equation Modeling is a statistical method increasingly used in scientific studies in the fields of Social Sciences. It is currently a preferred analysis method, especially in doctoral dissertations and academic researches. Many universities do not include this method in the curriculum, so students and scholars try to solve these problems using books and internet resources. This book aims to guide the researcher in a way that is free...
