The Destiny Thief

"I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust&#160;is an important landmark of a book. For autistic people and their caretakers, loved ones and other advocates, it is a hopeful story of what happens when you don&#8217;t give up and provide love and assistance to all the weary pilgrims on such a difficult road&#8230;.It is a story of understanding. It is a straight and true story of a young woman&#8217;s journey to selfhood and her parents&#8217; undying love and belief in her.&#160;I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust&#160;is a celebration of the best possible kind." &#160;&#160;

From the reviews:
"By providing an overall survey of results obtained so far in a very readable manner, and also presenting some new ideas, this well-written book will appeal to academic researchers in the field of HMMs, with PhD students working on related topics included. It will also appeal to practitioners and researchers from other fields by guiding them through the computational steps needed for making inference HMMs and/or by providing them with the relevant underlying statistical theory. In the reviewer's opinion this book will shortly become a reference work in its field." MathSciNet
"This monograph is a valuable resource. It provides a good literature review, an excellent account of the state of the art research on the necessary theory and algorithms, and ample illustrations of numerous applications of HMM. It goes much beyond the earlier resources on HMM...I anticipate this work to serve well many Technometrics readers in the coming years." Haikady N. Nagaraja for Technometrics, November 2006
"This monograph is an attempt to present a reasonably complete up-to-date picture of the field of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) that is self-contained from a theoretical point of view and self sufficient from a methodological point of view. … The book is written for academic researchers in the field of HMMs, and also for practitioners and researchers from other fields. … all the theory is illustrated with relevant running examples. This voluminous book has indeed the potential to become a standard text on HMM." (R. Schlittgen, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1080, 2006)
"Providing an overall survey of results obtained so far in a very readable manner … this well-written book will appeal to academic researchers in the field of HMMs, with PhD students working on related topics included. It will also appeal to practitioners and researchers from other fields by guiding them through the computational steps needed for making interference on HMMs and/or by providing them with the relevant underlying statistical theory. In the reviewer’s opinion this book will shortly become a reference work in its field." (M. Iosifescu, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 e)
"The authors describe Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as ‘one of the most successful statistical modelling ideas … in the last forty years.’ The book considers both finite and infinite sample spaces. … Illustrative examples … recur throughout the book. … This fascinating book offers new insights into the theory and application of HMMs, and in addition it is a useful source of reference for the wide range of topics considered." (B. J. T. Morgan, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 26 (2), 2006)
"In Inference in Hidden Markov Models, Cappé et al. present the current state of the art in HMMs in an emminently readable, thorough, and useful way. This is a very well-written book … . The writing is clear and concise. … the book will appeal to academic researchers in the field of HMMs, in particular PhD students working on related topics, by summing up the results obtained so far and presenting some new ideas … ."

“The book offers illuminating looks at the Shaw plays most often performed and adapted by Chinese artists, and at the emphases and modifications by which directors and actors made the plays responsive to Chinese concerns. … Li’s book gives attention to prominent individuals with whom Shaw’s long lifetime overlapped, especially those who influenced his writings or drew inspiration from them.” (Mary Christian, English Literature in Transition 1880-1920, Vol. 63 (3), 2020)“In this age of globalism and cross-cultural relations, Li has written a most timely and pertinent book. … I enjoyed the book very much and recommend it to anyone interested in cross-cultural literary and cultural relations.” (Matthew Yde, SHAW The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies, Vol. 37 (2), 2017)

The OUP Handbook of Modern Irish History, ranging over the last five centuries, imaginatively and  expertly edited by Alvin Jackson,  offers a rich cornucopia of perspectives from the 36 contributors, skilfully blending the chronological with the thematic in summarising the most recent understanding of  topics and periods, while frequently and fruitfully meditating on possible future directions of enquiry. It is essential reading for understanding both how
Ireland has got here,  and for pondering possible further approaches to the  historiography of the past five centuries

“This is a valuable addition to the literature on women’s involvement in foreign affairs. A focus on gender encourages the reader to look at appeasement differently, while the author’s attempt to dig below the rhetoric of politicians and newspapers and to seek to uncover the perspectives of rank and file women is to be welcomed, and should provide an incentive for further research in this area.” (June Hannam, Twentieth Century British History, Vol. 28 (2), March, 2017) “This book provides an enormous amount of information on British women’s interest in foreign affairs in the 1930s … . Readers interested in British women in the political arena will find plenty to draw upon here.” (Robert Boyce, Cercles, cercles.com, November, 2016)“Julie Gottlieb has done the scholarly community an enormous service by providing the first gendered history of British foreign policy in the age of appeasement. … Guilty Women undoubtedly provides a much-needed and long-overdue corrective to the tendency within the existing literature to position women on the periphery … . This is a work of admirable scholarship and ambition, and the ever-expanding canon of appeasement literature is richer for the contributions it makes.” (Professor Daniel Hucker, Reviews in History, history.ac.uk, July, 2016)“Julie Gottlieb’s impressive study is a wonderful example of their complementarity and, in her skilful hands, their combination profoundly recasts the familiar story of the ‘Munich Crisis’ of 1938. … Bringing gender and women’s history together, Julie Gottlieb has thus provided us with an immensely rich and rewarding analysis of appeasement. … this work of stunning craftswomanship and path-breaking scholarship.” (Marc Calvini Lefebvre, Revue Française de Civilisation Britannique, rfcb.revues.org, July, 2016)

From the reviews of the second edition:“The book is written in an informal way, which could please the beginners and not offend the more experienced reader. A reader can find a lot of problems for independent study as well as a lot of illustrations encouraging him/her to draw pictures as an important part of the process of mathematical thinking.”—European Mathematical Society, September 2011"Several areas like sets, functions, sequences and convergence are dealt with and several exercises and projects are provided for deepening the understanding. …It is the impression of the author of this review that the book can be particularly strongly recommended for teacher students to enable them to catch and transfer the “essence” of mathematical thinking to their pupils. But also everybody else interested in mathematics will enjoy this very well written book.—Burkhard Alpers (Aalen), zbMATH“The book is primarily concerned with an exposition of those parts of mathematics in which students need a more thorough grounding before they can work successfully in upper-division undergraduate courses. … a mathematically-conventional but pedagogically-innovative take on transition courses.” —Allen Stenger, The Mathematical Association of America, September, 2011

"Beyond its international and transnational perspective, the uniqueness and strength of Global Beauty, Local Bodies lies in the richness of the questions raised by the essays. This is a well-conceived collection that will make a significant contribution to the available literature on the body." - Maxine B. Craig, Associate Professor, Women and Gender Studies, Chair, DE in Feminist Theory and Research, University of California, Davis, USA

Global Beauty, Local Bodies

"Why do we blithely destroy our own futures in the pursuit of self-interest? What kind of being has an interest in its own destruction? What if our current sense of 'normality' were in fact a particularly pervasive and stubborn form of madness? Making a clear, well-researched, and often compelling case for this provocative view, Berger suggests a way to restore some sanity to our world grown mad. By stepping back and thinking realistically about what human survival requires, we can develop child-rearing practices that will help us heal the malignant divide between our skillful embodiment and our linguistic self-understanding. There is much food for thought in this wise book." - Iain Thomson, University of New Mexico, USA

'Justice, compassion, courage, trust, humility - if such virtues deeply characterized individual lives and communities, human existence would be far less scarred by genocide, terrorism, poverty, torture and other human rights abuses that plague the twenty-first century. This well-edited collection of essays contains clear philosophical reflection that provides much-needed guidance for anyone and everyone who strives to support and extend the moral qualities that are necessary to amend the world.' - John Roth, Edward J.
