"Jewell's book can certainly be included in any group of useful books on statistics in epidemiology. It actually might be the one with which I would start."-Technometrics, February 2005, Vol. 47, No. 1 "This is a useful and thought-provoking book written by an expert in the field, providing a very valuable supplement to more introductory texts as well as a guide to more advanced sources. "-Journal of the Royal Statistics Society "…It is a good companion text … The numerous worked examples and references to further reading at the end of each chapter are very good … I would find the book a useful reference for the teacher of statistical methods for epidemiology …"-Statistics in Medicine, 2005 "Good points of the book are the exercises, comments and further reading at the end of each chapter, the availability of the data sets used … and the extensive discussion of confounding … this is a good, well-written piece of work."-Pharmaceutical Statistics, 2004 "This book is excellent; a real breakthrough in texts on statistics in epidemiology, especially in its attention to causation and bias."  -Sander Greenland, Department of Epidemiology, UCLA"Using examples, this experienced statistician identifies scientific issues and clearly links them to statistical approaches. Statistical theory and formality are grounded in manageable yet realistic examples. Coverage includes the basics and important topics such as measurement error and causal analysis. The book has excellent references, an informative index and glossary."-ISI Short Book Reviews, August 2004

Statistics for Epidemiology

This book is designed for undergraduate students and provides an introduction to analysis including an introduction to proofs. Namely, it starts with basic logic along with set theory and suggests plenty of instructive examples on how to do a correct mathematical reasoning. Then, he moves to functions, sequences, basic topology, differentiation, and integration. The text ends with power series and elementary transcendental functions. Each section of the book has a clear and convenient structure. It opens with "Preliminary remarks", which in a few sentences explain what the following passage is about. Then, the main text follows in which every statement is equipped with an instructive proof. Examples and exercises help master the material of the topic. \A look back" blocks consist of a few simple questions (like "What is a monotone sequence?") and serve as a test if you understand the basics.
General remarks. The language of the book is quite vivid and lively, at the same time it is available for non-native students. The text has useful navigation tools like glossary, index, and the table of notations. The only disadvantage, in my opinion, is the lack of solutions and answers to the exercises.

"This is an exceptional book, very timely and useful, and a pleasant surprise for many people who develop technology. Dr. Lim impresses the reader with his bird’s eye view of the history of civilization and the central role that technology played on the way to the advanced societies of today. The treatment is systematic and holistic. It is based on principles many of which emerged from Dr. Lim’s stellar career devoted to quality in the best auto manufacturing companies of the world."
- Adrian Bejan, J.A. Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Duke University

"Deming, Juran and other leading experts developed the foundation of quality management. Dr. Lim builds off this foundation and offers a practical guide to manage quality within organizations and across supply chains. His work helps understand the role of quality in the increasing technologically connected world of Industry 4.0. Dr. Lim has advanced our understanding of how to manage quality in an increasingly changing world, which is grounded in principles and the scientific method."

The War with Grandpa

With her whole heart, 10-year-old Libby longs to ride horses. But when she persuades her parents to visit a  nearby horse farm, they sign up her older sister for riding lessons and ask Libby to wait. Though stricken  by the unfairness of their decision, she knows that money is tight. Libby becomes a regular visitor at the  farm, where she gets to know the owners, the horses, and an elderly man who frequently comes to see his  horse. It&#8217;s a year of change for Libby and many of those around her, and change doesn&#8217;t come easily. Still,  the hardships along the way make the ending all the sweeter for readers involved in Libby&#8217;s story. The  wide-spaced lines of type and vivid black-and-white drawings make this an accessible, attractive choice  for younger chapter-book readers. Primavera offers a nuanced story that acknowledges some of the painful  parts of childhood without letting them diminish Libby&#8217;s resilient nature.

"This book...shows how some very simple calculations can produce answers almost identical to those generated from full 3D finite element analyses. this book shows that engineers don't always need a lot of computer power to perform seismic analyses and the techniques described should be useful for any designers who need quick anwsers to what may appear to be very difficult analysis problems - The Structural Engineer."The advent of computerised structural analysis and, in particular, of finite element programs has opened up vast possibilities for a fundamental reappraisal of existing approximate methods, including a more accurate definition of their scope and limits. A number of new methods are proposed. Many numerical examples and comparisons with "accurate" methods are given" - Concrete International'...will be very useful for designers...a very good addition to the libraries of consulting engineers, engineering organisations, and academic institutions. ...useful book with excellent printing, illustrations, and binding.' - Journal of Structural Engineering
