From the reviews:

"Interval-censored data, where one does not observe the exact times of events of interest … but only that they occur in certain intervals … . This is the first book to summarize the substantial body of recent work in this field. … The book includes a number of applications, with full sets of data provided. Algorithms for fitting the various models presented are described carefully in the text and there is a short section discussing available statistical software … ." (D. Oakes, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 26 (3), 2006)
"...[T]this book is to be recommended to scientists in the field of survival analysis, and in particular to those researchers in interval-censored data, as an up-to-date reference in frequentist approaches...the book might be also useful to practitioners from other disciplines who can find in this text the suitable methods to analyze interval-censored data." (Robert G. McLeod frorm Biometrics, Issue 63, September 2007)
"This is the first book that provides a comprehensive summary of important topics in the field; therefore, there is no doubt that this book represents an important contribution to the literature. … In summary, this book is good news for those interested in an overview of interval-censored data. … This book offers a well-written and comprehensive summary. I enjoyed reading it and feel that it provides an excellent guide to this important area. It will definitely be kept on my shelf for reference." (Do-Hwan Park, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 102 (480), 2007)
"This book is a survey of statistical analysis tools for interval-censored data which occur rather frequently in various empirical sciences, e.g., in demography, epidemiology, finance, medicine or sociology. … This volume is adequate for self-study for researchers and students who want to handle and analyze interval-censored data." (Christina Wunder, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1127 (4), 2008)

Praise for Blow-Up and Other Stories:"[Cort&aacute;zar] is a unique storyteller. He can induce the kind of chilling unease that strikes like a sound in the night."&mdash;Time"Julio Cort&aacute;zar is a stunning writer. It is difficult to imagine how he could improve as a writer of short stories."&mdash;The Christian Science Monitor"A glittering showcase for a daring talent . . . Julio Cort&aacute;zar is a dazzler."&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle"A first-class literary imagination at work."&mdash;The New York Times Book Review"Cort&aacute;zar displays throughout his stories the ability to elevate them above the condition of those gimmicky tales which depend for effect solely on a twist ending. His genius here lies in the knack for constructing striking, artistically 'right' subordinate circumstances out of which his fantastic and metaphysical whimsies appear normally to spring."&mdash;Saturday Review

From the reviews:"This book is written to provide a reference collection of modern Bayesian methods in reliability. Since all of the chapters include exercises, it could be used as the basis for an undergraduate or graduate course in reliability.… it provides a more concrete view of reliability with worked out examples. It does not require any background in Bayesian thinking from the reader—all that is required is a basic knowledge of probability and applied statistics.… I recommend this book to any reader who wishes to learn about the practical application of Bayesian thinking in reliability." (James H. ALBERT, JASA , June 2009, VOl.104, No. 486)"Readership: Reliability practitioners, Bayesian researchers in reliability. The book may also be used as a textbook for a course for advanced undergraduates or graduate students … . This is a very well written Bayesian book on reliability with almost encyclopedic coverage. … Given the strengths of the book in both coverage and detailed modeling of reliability based on many different kinds of data … the book makes a major contribution to the literature on reliability." (Jayanta K. Ghosh, International Statistical Review, Vol. 77 (3), 2009)"This is both a reference and a very complete textbook on Bayesian reliability. … The sequence of the topics is very logical and well organized. Starting from basics allows the use of the book by engineers and readers without previous knowledge of statistics … ." (Mauro Gasparini, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1165, 2009)“The authors give the reader a thorough statistical understanding of lifetime or failure time analysis of products or systems. … This book brings to the reader a collection of modern Bayesian statistical methods for use in reliability and lifetime analysis for practitioners, but can serve also as a textbook for an undergraduate or graduate course in reliability. In the book are 70 illustrative examples with an additional 165 exercises down-loadable from a reference website and are accompanied by a solution manual.” (Adriana Horníková, Technometrics, Vol. 51 (4), November, 2009)

In his masterful investigation Andrey Shabanov offers an alternative history of Russian Realist art. Confronting and undermining the stereotypes which have long afflicted studies of the peredvizhniki (owing in small degree to the highly tendentious social interpretations by Soviet scholars), Shabanov places artists such as Kramskoi, Perov, and Repin in the practical context of the “art market” of photographic reproduction, advertising, incorporation, and mass distribution. By providing new and often archival information on the pragmatic, promotional, and commercial aspects of the peredvizhniki, Shabanov furnishes us with a luminous and lucid account of one of Russia’s primary artistic attainments.

From the Reviews:
"The book provides many good real life examples to demonstrate application of the methods discussed....[it] is excellent for teaching an advanced class in statistics on this topic as it also contains many good exercises at the end of each chapter, some being extensions of the discussions." (Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics (JBS), Issue #5, 2008)
"This book provides a timely and comprehensive review of methodologies for recurrent event data analysis and should be beneficial to Biometrics readers who are interested in recurrent events."
"The strength of this book is its scope. It covers most of the methodology that is readily available for general use. ...Overall, we think this is a very good reference for recurrent event data analysis, especially because no other books provide a similar degree of coverage, and it would provide&nbsp;a nice textbook for a graduate-level course on the topic."&nbsp;&nbsp; (Biometrics, September 2008)
"This book deals with processes generating multiple events over time. … The book comprises eight chapters, four appendices and a useful notational glossary. … it is directed to a much broader target readership, like social scientists, economists and industrial statisticians as well. … Many examples are used to illustrate and discuss the models and statistical methods in great detail. Techniques for estimation, testing and model checking are lucidly described … for a graduate course." (Harald Heinzl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1159, 2009)
&ldquo;&hellip;Every aspiring statistical researcher interested in recurrent events should have this book on his/her shelf as a great guide for learning the state-of-the-art stochastic models, frequentist (mostly estimating equation and asymptotic based) methods, and computational tools (including popular programs and routines). This is a very well-organized and comprehensive book on a very rapidly expanding area of research. As a mentor of PhD students, I myself will definitely recommend every graduate student interested in mastering recurrent events to read this book thoroughly to understand the current state of the literature as well as areas of future research and further development.&rdquo; ( Journal of the American Statistical Association, Dec. 2009, Vol. 104, No. 488)

"Many people underestimate the ability to do 'real' Project Based Learning (PBL) in an early childhood classroom.　 They think of it as cutesy or PBL-lite. This book turns that misconception upside down. These early childhood authors are prolific in both their depth of understanding PBL and in their intention of thoughtfully creating a fieldbook guide for their readers to successfully implement PBL in their own classrooms. This book is full of real classroom narrative, examples and practical tools that teachers are going to savor. It's also sophisticated enough to be utilized as a university-level text because of the authors’ efforts to provide readers with common misconceptions as well as the research and pedagogical foundations supporting PBL– something that is often missing in many PBL publications.　 It's a 'must read' for not only early childhood educators, but also for PBL coaches, elementary principals and curriculum leaders. Even though it is geared toward early childhood educators, teachers across the PK-16 continuum could benefit from its richness."—Teresa Dempsey, Ph.D., PBLWorks National Faculty, Director of PBLMatters, Fairfield County Educational Service Center, Lancaster, OH
"If you are looking for a book that makes Project Based Learning both reachable and applicable to you and your students, you have found it! Not only is the theory, value and background information behind PBL explained but the reader is also guided with real-life classroom examples and situations. It brings PBL to life!"—Kari DeJong, Classroom Teacher
