Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics and Kendall's Library of Statistics The development of modern statistical theory is reflected in the history of the late Sir Maurice Kenfall's volumes, The Advanced Theory of Statistics. This landmark publication began life as a two-volume work and grew steadily as a single-authored work until the 1950s. In this edition, there is new material on skewness and kurtosis, hazard rate distribution, the bootstrap, the evaluation of the multivariate normal integral and ratios of quadratic forms. It also includes over 200 new references, 40 new exercises, and 20 further examples in the main text.

The development of statistical theory in the past fifty years is faithfully reflected in the history of the late Sir Maurice Kendall’s volumes The Advanced Theory of Statistics. The Advanced Theory began life as a two volume work (Volume 1, 1943; Volume 2, 1946) and grew steadily, as a single authored work until the late fifties. At that point Alan Stuart became involved and the Advanced Theory was rewritten in three volumes. When Keith Ord joined in the early eighties, Volume 3 became the largest and plans were developed to expand it into a series of monographs called the Kendall's Library of Statistics which would devote a book to each of the modern developments in statistics. This series is well on the way with 5 titles in print and a further 7 on the way. A new volume on Bayesian Inference was also commissioned from Tony O'Hagan and published in 1994 as Volume 2B of the Advanced Theory. This Volume 2A is therefore the completely updated Volume 2 - Classical Inference and Relationship. A new author, Steven Arnold, was invited to join Keith Ord and they have between them produced a work of the highest quality. References have been updated and material revised throughout. A new chapter on the linear model and least squares estimation has been added.

In the warmth of a Carolina spring, young Allie Simon, a junior at Duke University, meets Lily, a freshman whose smile hides depths he's only begun to imagine. It all starts with a casual invitation-a spur-of-the-moment, eight-mile drive to Chapel Hill-and quickly becomes an unforgettable journey into the heart of first love. Set against the rich tapestry of 1950s North Carolina, Eight Miles to Chapel Hill is more than a love story; it's a tale of innocence, of dreams kindled and futures imagined. But for Allie and Lily, the path to lasting happiness is as fraught as it is hopeful, complicated by youthful missteps and the pressures of family expectations. As they navigate new love's heady highs and wrenching lows, each is forced to confront life-defining choices that will shape their lives forever. Alan Stuart Markoff's Eight Miles to Chapel Hill is a poignant exploration of what it means to love deeply and let go profoundly-a tender, timeless story told with charm, wit, and an enduring hope that will resonate with anyone who has ever been swept away by the magic of first love.

Arthur Allen Jones (November 22, 1926 - August 28, 2007) was the founder of Nautilus Inc. and MedX Inc., and the inventor of the Nautilus Exercise Machines, including the Nautilus pullover, which was first sold in 1970. Jones was a pioneer in the field of physical exercise i.e. weight and strength training. Jones's ideas tried to move the public's notion of bodybuilding and strength-training exercise away from the Arnold Schwarzenegger school of training, which involved hours in the gym using free weights, to high intensity training This involves short, single sets with maximum intensity, to maximize muscular growth. Famous individuals who trained under Jones include Casey Viator - Mr America; Eddie Robinson - Mr America (who worked with and participated in and trained under Jones's Nautilus leverage line, which is now Hammer Strength). Others who were influenced by Arthur's ideas include Mike Mentzer - Mr Universe; Sergio Oliva - Mr Olympia; and Dorian Yates - Mr Olympia 6 times.Each RADLEY CLASSIC is a meticulously restored, luxurious and faithful reproduction of a classic book; produced with elegant text layout, clarity of presentation, and stylistic features that make reading a true pleasure.
