A saga de VEI - Vol. 2

Fantasia Nórdica

"The book aims at introducing modern statistical small area estimation methodologies into the framework of spatial microsimulation modelling for a comprehensive presentation, providing a novel approach with much potential in comparative social research and regional statistics production. In my opinion, the strongest methodological developments are in the techniques of generating synthetic spatial microdata at small area levels. This book will be attractive for students, in economics, social sciences and statistics in particular. The increasing use of both SAE and microsimulation methods in different areas of society, such as social planning by government institutions and official or public statistics production by national and international statistical agencies. Finally, I want to congratulate the authors for writing a nice and well readable book on a quite complicated topic."
~Prof. Risto Lehtonen, University of Helsinki
". . .an interesting read for both beginning and more experienced microsimulation modellers. The two authors are well known within the microsimulation community. In this book, they share their experiences and insights into both the more theoretical and empirical aspects of microsimulation modelling. Across disciplines, there are several approaches towards the simulation or projection of small area statistics. However, since these different disciplines make use of different terminologies, there is less cross-pollination than expected (or hoped for). The aim of this book is to show and explain different approaches of small area estimation that are used in different research fields. The book gives an extensive theoretical and empirical overview of different microsimulation techniques and can be of relevance to researchers who want to expand their knowledges on ways to estimate small area characteristics."~International Journal of Microsimulation 
"The authors begin with a detailed classification tree of small area estimation techniques. The text then proceeds to review and describe these techniques. A familiarity with regression techniques and survey methods is assumed throughout. The text then proceeds to present some new small area estimation techniques, validation methods, and a detailed worked example. The appendices provide further details of the worked example and SAS code for the generalized regression weighting tool (GREGWT) method."~Douglas Dover, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics
"I enjoyed reading this comprehensively written book. I recommend this book to sociologists, economists, geographers, statistics and computing professionals."-Ramalingam Shanmugam, inJournal of Statistical Computation and Simulation,June 2019

“This book presents clearly the most thorough documentation to date on the age-old inter-disciplinary problem of contact mechanics. … the book will probably be of greatest interest to second year graduate students, especially those seeking theses and dissertation topics. The book undoubtedly stimulates additional reading, studying, and research.” (Ronald L. Huston, zbMATH 1400.74001, 2019)“James R. Barber has written a fascinating and inspiring book that highlights analytical solutions while not veering too far from engineering applications. This book will undoubtedly be useful at different levels as a textbook for courses on contact mechanics and tribology. For many years to come, this book will serve as an invaluable reference guide for researchers in contact mechanics and related fields.” (Ivan I. Argatov, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2018)“It represents both an outstanding reference book and a didactically excellent prepared textbook suitable for teaching master's degree candidates and PHD students. … The author provides a wealth of alternative and elegant analytical methods. … ‘Contact Mechanics’ by James R. Barber will greatly facilitate the work of many PHD students and prospective researchers, since the widely scattered research contributions of the last 30 years have now been summarized in one specialized book.” (Markus Heß, frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, September, 2018)“A much simpler book, but very pleasant and never trivial, which however competes with many other books in the same area, including some in Italian. … a must in the library of any researcher in the flourishing area of contact mechanics, and a possible choice for advanced courses in the subject (but also, for its clarity, it could even serve the purpose of less advanced courses).” (M. Ciavarella, Meccanica, Vol. 53, 2018)&nbsp;“The monograph gives a concise presentation of the various analytic methods in contact mechanics and will thus serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers working in associated fields or practitioners aiming to get a deeper understanding of contact mechanics. ... 'Contact Mechanics' by James Barber is an excellent work of a brilliant and passionate writer, teacher and scientist and a must in the library of any professional tribologist.” (Valentin L. Popov and Emanuel Willert, Tribology Letters, Vol. 66 (73), 2018)

"Schabas has argued cogently that Jevons's economic theory was shaped by his views on logic and scientific method, and A World Ruled by Number constitutes a strong demonstration that the investigation of the development of economics gains much from a broadened perspective."

"This Handbook is a treasure trove. Yes, it marshals the data on U.S. poverty, providing an indispensable reference guide. Even more valuably, it theorizes U.S. poverty anew, demonstrating how U.S. destitution and its "surplus populations" are shaped by neoliberalism’s global projects and logics, its economic mandates and powers of enforcement. The Handbook is thus also a compendium of knowledge for all who fight to end poverty. This is the book I want my students to have as they work in impoverished communities. It is also the book that all scholars of poverty and globalization will need to keep ready to hand." - Mark Lewis Taylor, Religion and Society, Princeton Theological Seminary
"I've always maintained that the most effective way to transform our urban schools is to fight to eliminate poverty. Unless we challenge the exploitation of humanity by capitalism we will lose the battle to save our schools. This outstanding volume presents the necessary evidence to make this case. Any program of education that ignores this landmark text does so at its own peril." - Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, College of Education, Chapman University and Co-Director of the Paulo Freire Democratic Project
"This important book reframes the causes and consequences of poverty, and efforts to address them, in its ideological and global context. The editors and authors have extensive experience and expertise, and add mightily to our understanding of poverty as a field of practice and subject of study." - Barry Checkoway, Professor of Social Work and Urban Planning, University of Michigan
