Ein Messer für den ehrlichen Finder

The underlying thesis, sustained with verve and learning, is that much early medieval evidence has been given a misleading juridical coherence ... the book should make us far more sensitive both to vocabulary and to our own preconceptions.

"Whether or not Goethe actually cried "More light!" on his deathbed ... last words, regardless of their authenticity, have long captured our imaginations. Here Karl Guthke explores the cultural importance of those words spoken at the border between this world and the next. "Last Words ... is filled with zesty farewells from just this side of the grave.... A stimulating tome shot through with grisly black humor and goosey trivia.""

Last Words

Replete with vivid details, including the terrible conditions in Confederate prisoner-of-war camps, Walker&#8217;s engrossing narrative builds to a horrific description of the terrified passengers&#8217; actions and ensuing civilian rescue efforts. Although Walker conveys astonishment, even outrage, that no one was held responsible for this tragedy, she presents the evidence with an even hand.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)In addition to archival illustrative material, Walker makes extensive use of primary sources...a finely detailed, well-researched chronicle of a little-known disaster.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsWalker sets the scene for the Sultana disaster as she describes the captain&#8217;s greed (allowing 2,400 passengers when the legal capacity was 376), the chief engineer&#8217;s decision to repair rather than replace a deteriorating boiler, the flooded river, and other factors that would come into play....History buffs, and even adults, will be the biggest fans of this crossover YA title.&#8212;BooklistReaders who have already devoured the abundance of material on the Titanic will be drawn to the story of the Sultana, which despite being the &#8220;worst maritime disaster in American history&#8221; is often overshadowed. A riveting and informative addition to nonfiction collections.&#8212;School Library JournalFans of Walker&#8217;s Secrets of a Civil War Submarine: Solving Mysteries of the H. L. Hunley (BCCB 6/05) already know her skill at illuminating maritime disaster from many angles; here she investigates the suspected bribery, commercial greed, military ineptitude, and myriad fatal decisions (possibly extending all the way up to President Lincoln himself ) that raised the disaster from sad to epic...This goes on every shipwreck aficionado&#8217;s must-read list.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Essentials of Business Research

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This book presents a method of two-stage maximization of a likelihood function, which helps to solve a series of non-solved before well-posed and ill-posed problems of pseudosolution computing systems of linear algebraic equations … . This book is intended for students, postgraduate students, scientists, and other researchers handling economical and technical data. It is especially intended for those who constantly use regression analysis in their own research and for those who create mathematical software for computers."
