’This book is desperately needed, because it ends many of the illusions of microfinance by venturing into themes unexamined by scholars and practitioners alike. This theoretically informed and empirically grounded study promises to become a basic resource in understanding the widening gap between the promises and realities of microfinance and opens a space for a dialogue to reorient microfinance and make it more socially responsible.’ Jude Fernando, Clark University, USA  ’This book makes a valuable contribution to understanding the social and political impact and implications of microfinance schemes as poverty reduction strategies. Focused on a detailed examination of the Amhara Credit and Savings Institution (ACSI) in Northern Ethiopia, it is a timely and important addition to critical ethnographic research on microfinance. This carefully developed analysis of wider contexts around microfinance and gendered social relations is an important touchstone for future work.’  Heloise Weber, The University of Queensland, Australia

'Overall, the editors and other contributors to Demography at the Edge provide an accessible and informative introduction to the social demography of remote areas in developed countries. By reviewing a broad set of methodological and substantive topics, and complementing them with numerous case studies, they give readers a necessary baseline of knowledge about remote area demography. Their book contains important lessons for academics, policymakers, and local stakeholders...' Journal of Regional Science

"There is great potential here. Intellectually this model is rich and grounded in an outstanding research program. It has received national attention in the research community. I think the timing is so right for a text like this."&#8212;Jim HoffmanUniversity of Texas"This book will appeal to both in-service and preservice teachers. I plan to use the CORI idea in K-12 professional development workshops on content-area literacy in Detroit, across southeastern Michigan, and around the country. And as soon as the book is out, I will use it as a resource in both workshops and preservice education courses."&#8212;Elizabeth MojeUniversity of Michigan

"Engineers are developing electronic systems for applications in environments significantly more taxing than those seen in classical computing applications. This book exposes engineers to the range of challenges faced and fosters an understanding of the approaches useful to succeed in those taxing application environments. It has an outstanding overview of the challenges to design electronic systems to operate in the presence of hazards in extreme environments."

"This book introduces Markov models for studying transitions between states over time, when the exact times of transitions are not always observed. Such data are common in medicine, epidemiology, demography, and social sciences research. The multi-state survival modeling framework can be useful for investigating potential associations between covariates and the risk of moving between states and for prediction of multi-state survival processes. The book is appropriate for researchers with a bachelor’s or master’s degree knowledge of mathematical statistics. No prior knowledge of survival analysis or stochastic processes is assumed. …Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data serves as a useful starting point for learning about multi-state survival models."—Li C. Cheung, National Cancer Institute, in the Journal of the American Statistical Association, January 2018"This book aims to provide an overview of the key issues in multistate models, conduct and analysis of models with interval censoring. Applications of the book concern on longitudinal data and most of them are subject to interval censoring. The book contains theoretical and applicable examples of different multistate models. … In summary, this book contains an excellent theoretical coverage of multistate models concepts and different methods with practical examples and codes, and deals with other topics relevant this kind of modelling in a comprehensive but summarised way."— Morteza Hajihosseini, ISCB News, May 2017"This is the first book that I know of devoted to multi-state models for intermittently-observed data. Even though this is a common situation in medical and social statistics, these methods have only previously been covered in scattered papers, software manuals and book chapters. The level is approximately suitable for a postgraduate statistics student or applied statistician. The structure is clear, gradually building up
