The aim of this book is to make a comprehensive review on some of the research
topics in the area of survey sampling which has not been covered in any
book yet. The proposed book aims at making a comprehensive review of applications
of Bayes procedures, Empirical Bayes procedures and their ramifications
(like linear Bayes estimation, restricted Bayes least square prediction,
constrained Bayes estimation, Bayesian robustness) in making inference
from a finite population sampling. Parimal Mukhopadhyay is Professor at

Topics in Survey Sampling

Ausgehend von Stichprobenergebnissen werden die grundlegenden Begriffe
der Mathematischen Statistik und Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung anschaulich
eingef&uuml;hrt. Es werden diskrete und kontinuierliche Verteilungen und Funktionen
von Zufallsvariablen werden behandelt. Wahrscheinlichkeitsnetze veranschaulichen
das Wahrscheinlichkeitsverhalten von Zufallsvariablen oder Kollektiven.
Die Test- und Sch&auml;tzverfahren aller praxisrelevanten Anwendungsf&auml;lle bei
Normalverteilung erlauben bei Verwendung der zugeh&ouml;rigen G&uuml;tefunktionen
eine optimale Planung von Me&szlig;reihen, deren einfache Auswertung und anschauliche
Interpretation. Andernfalls werden f&uuml;r alle Fragestellungen die entsprechenden
verteilungsfreien Verfahren vorgestellt, so da&szlig; der Anwender f&uuml;r "alle
Lebenslagen ger&uuml;stet" ist. Die theoretischen Hintergr&uuml;nde der Verfahren
k&ouml;nnen im Bedarfsfall zu Rate gezogen werden. Alle Methoden werden durch
Praxisbeispiele veranschaulicht. Ein Wegweiser f&uuml;hrt schnell zum passenden
L&ouml;sungsverfahren.

Patienten und ihre behandelnden &Auml;rzte werden zunehmend zu Partnern im diagnostischen
und therapeutischen Prozess. Viele Herzerkrankungen lassen sich inzwischen
besser diagnostizieren und sehr gut behandeln. Die Diagnostik mit modernen
Ger&auml;ten wird jedoch komplizierter und die Behandlungsverfahren werden oft
nebenwirkungsreicher. Eine gute Information des Patienten f&ouml;rdert das Verst&auml;ndnis
f&uuml;r die verschiedenen Ma&szlig;nahmen. Aufkl&auml;rung und Wissen um die Zusammenh&auml;nge
erleichtern das Einhalten der &auml;rztlichen Anordnungen, nehmen die Angst
vor notwendigen Eingriffen und lassen Risiken und Komplikationen schneller
erkennen. Die Empfehlungen zur Patienteninformation sind bewusst kopierfreundlich
gestaltet. So kann der Arzt begleitend zum &auml;rztlichen Aufkl&auml;rungsgespr&auml;ch
dem Patienten einzelne Kapitel zur Lekt&uuml;re mitgeben. Der Patient hat die
Chance, die Informationen aus dem Gespr&auml;ch nachzulesen, zu &uuml;berdenken und
gezielt nachzufragen. Nur ein informierter und aufgekl&auml;rter Patient ist
ein zufriedener Patient.

"A Cross Too Heavy, the thoughtful work of the Australian historian Paul O'Shea, provides insight and understanding that might otherwise be lost in the maelstrom of anger still generated by Pius' refusal to issue a clear and unambiguous condemnation of the Nazi campaign of genocide against European Jewry. O'Shea's well-researched and economically written account sheds light not only on the complicated man who became the leader of the world's largest religious body, but the highly complicated and contentious times in which he assumed that leadership. As Jews demand more information on those troubled times and fateful decisions - and as the Roman Catholic Church ponders whether Pius is worthy of sainthood - A Cross Too Heavy is timely, relevant and fascinating." - Intermountain Jewish News

"A Cross Too Heavy is an indispensable addition in the continuing debate over what Pope Pius XII did, and did not do, to help save Jews during the Holocaust. O'Shea's meticulous and balanced scholarship places the limited available evidence in much needed perspective. His discerning analysis and conclusions about Pius's tragic flaws make it clear that the Vatican must release all relevant World War II secret archives now - for the sake of Holocaust survivors and their families, and for the sake of historical truth." - Abraham H. Foxman, National Director, Anti-Defamation League

"O'Shea's volume is a fine, balanced summary of what we presently know about Pius XII's actions with respect to the Jewish people during the Nazi era. It is particularly valuable for its setting of the discussion regarding Pius XII in the wider context of the dynamics within institutional Catholicism during that period. No credible examination of the papal record can exclude its detailed evidence." - John T. Pawlikowski, OSM, PhD and Director, Catholic-Jewish Studies Program, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago

"This book offers a new analysis and understanding of the role played by Pope Pius XII during the Holocaust. O'Shea gives a careful and detailed overview of the biographical, historical and theological framework for the Vatican's response to National Socialism and the persecution and murder of Europe's Jews. Avoiding polemic, O'Shea goes to the heart of the issues and controversies that surrounded Eugenio Pacelli. The result is a fascinating and complex portrait of Pope Pius XII and the decisions he made. This book is a significant contribution to the historiography of the Holocaust and an invaluable contribution to the ongoing conversation about the role of the churches during that event." - Victoria J. Barnett, General Editor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, English Edition and author of Bystanders: Conscience and Complicity during the Holocaust

"O'Shea gives us a fresh look at Pius XII and at the current debate over the pope's behavior during the Holocaust. With a keen eye to context - the context of the Church and its history; the context of Europe during the war years; the context of debates over authority and institutional religion since the 1950s - O'Shea renders a bold verdict on Pius XII. Among the many books about the pontiff that have been published in the past fifteen years, O'Shea's work shines bright for its unflinching scholarship and judgments. Laying bare Pius XII's logic and the basic moral flaws of his reasoning, O'Shea's work is as intrepid as it is troubling." - Debórah Dwork, Rose Professor of Holocaust History and Director, Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Clark University

Jamie Redgate’s Wallace and I is a ground breaking study of Wallace’s vision of cognition. He demonstrates that Wallace’s posthumanist leanings in the context of neuroscience rub up against a sustained adherence to Cartesian conceptions of the self. As such, Wallace’s work proposes a model of cognition wherein the brain produces a quasi-Cartesian mind that is embodied and indelibly tied to and wholly dependent upon the individual’s physical body. The book makes a genuinely innovative contribution to our understanding of Wallace’s work, one that will be immensely clarifying to future Wallace scholars.Marshall Boswell, Rhodes College

From the reviews:

"This is a multiauthored encyclopedia on aging from a public health perspective. … It is intended as a reference for practitioners caring for older persons, public health officials, and persons involved in planning for older persons. The authors have created a handsome book. There is a broad audience for this book -- trainees in social, nursing, and medical fields, public health officials, and planners for older persons can all use this book. … it will appeal to a wide readership." (David O. Staats, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)
"This is a timely publication as the need for accurate and up to date information in this area is particularly acute due to the ever-increasing proportion of older adults that makes up the population. … This work is written specifically for clinicians and researchers working with adults over the age of fifty, public health professionals, epidemiologists, nurses, psychologists and social workers. Its multidisciplinary coverage and scope of topics make it a useful resource for a library as a quick reference source … ."(Lindsey Curtis, Reference Reviews, Vol. 22 (7), 2008)

Encyclopedia of Aging and Public Health

From the reviews:“This book achieving its aim to serve as an academic textbook and as a practical manual … . the mix of useful information and impediments in the book recommends it as textbook and brain-trainer to students at EU universities. It gives an interesting overview over the complexities, problems and impressive achievements of forest inventory in Finland and is a welcome mental fitness trainer for inquisitive, integrating, coordinating and logical thinking, which I rather enjoyed.” (Eberhard F. Bruenig, International Forestry Review, Vol. 11 (4), 2009)

'Moore's new book is a vitally important contribution to the growing international literature on educating the public especially the young about religions. At a time when learning about religion is being debated in Asian, African and Middle Eastern countries and when international bodies such as UNESCO, the Council of Europe and the Office for Security and Cooperation in Europe are giving close attention to teaching and learning about religions, Moore's important book will attract much attention internationally.' - Robert Jackson, DLitt Director, Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit, Institute of Education, University of Warwick and Editor of the British Journal of Religious Education
Moore has brought insight, clarity, common sense, and long experience to one of the most important and contentious issues of our day-the question of religion in the public schools. Religious literacy goes to the heart of the purpose of education in a democracy that can no longer afford to remain uneducated about the world's religions. This book is a must-read for teachers, school administrators, parents, and every citizen concerned with the quality of American education.' - Diana L. Eck, Professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies and Director of The Pluralism Project, Harvard University

'Moore's lucid, thoughtful book wrestles with a fundamental educational question-what should we teach our children? She argues persuasively the critical importance of religious literacy for survival in the 21st century and goes deeply into the contentious debates around the teaching of religion in public schools. Moore convinces that we keep the teaching of world religions out of our schools at our own peril. Read it, debate it, act on it.' Steve Seidel, Bauman and Bryant Chair in Arts and Education, Graduate School of Education, and Director of Project Zero, Harvard University

'In a world fraught with religious and cultural conflicts, Moore models how to teach about religion respectfully as part of the goal of educating for democratic citizenship. What is unique about this book is that the author explores both the philosophy as well as the pedagogical challenges of using a cultural studies approach to teach about religion. This important book will be of interest to educators and any citizen concerned about our country's religious illiteracy.' - Marya R. Levenson, Professor of the Practice in Education and the Harry S. Levitan Director of the Education Program, Brandeis University

"Overcoming Religious Illiteracy is unique. Moore not only persuades us about why we ought to teach about religion in our public schools, but she also tells us how to do it-practically, sensitively, and effectively." - James W. Fraser, Professor, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University

'Religious illiteracy in our country and in the world is rampant. Ignorance of the faith and cultural practices of others is the source of great misunderstanding and suffering. Moore's book proposes an inquiry-based approach for American public schools that opens the door to religious discussion and reflection in an atmosphere of respect and cultural awareness. This book is pioneering. It offers a strong base of theory and concrete foundations for practice to bring a new dimension to teaching about diversity.' - Renee Cherow-O'Leary, Assistant Professor of English Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

"In recent years religion has become a dominant feature of global politics and American public life. Today active participation as informed citizens in our multicultural society demands knowledge of the world's religious traditions. Moore's Overcoming Religious Illiteracy offers a template for achieving that goal. It should be required reading for all secondary school educators.' - Donald K. Swearer, Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Buddhist Studies, Harvard Divinity School

'Moore convincingly argues that religion should be taught in public schools by giving both solid theoretical reasons and productive examples of how to do so practically. I am sure this fascinating study will enrich the debate not only in academic circles but in public discourse as well. This is a remarkable and innovative book that should be widely read by Americans and Europeans alike.' - Wolfram Weisse, Professor of Religious Education, University of Hamburg and Director of the Centre for World Religions in Dialogue

"In a world marked by the inability of societies to engage with religious difference, the need to combat religious and cultural illiteracy has become urgent. Diane Moore presents a strong and convincing case for the inclusion of the study of religion as a cultural phenomenon in the curricula of schools and, indeed, for a liberal arts college education. She persuasively demonstrates the destabilizing consequences of religious illiteracy for the proper functioning of democratic societies. A must read for anyone concerned with the crucial role of education in fostering healthy multiracial, multicultural and multireligious societies." - Ali S. Asani, Professor of the Practice of Indo-Muslim Languages and Cultures, Harvard University

"Overcoming Religious Illiteracy is a must read for those concerned with the future of public education in a multi-religious society. Moore offers thoughtful suggestions for educators preparing to tackle this difficult subject.' - Adam Strom, Director of Research and Development, Facing History and Ourselves

'Teachers everywhere should welcome Overcoming Religious Illiteracy. Finally here is a text that gives instructors the perspective and tools they need to teach about religion in a way that avoids the shrill stereotypes, over simplistic assumptions, and unexamined sectarianism that too often beleaguers this topic. Moore links theory with practice, offering educators both methodologies and resources to teach responsibly and creatively about religion.' - Susan McCaslin, Instructor in Philosophy and Religious Studies and Associate Dean of Faculty, Phillips Academy

'Moore's well-written and very readable book, Overcoming Religious Illiteracy, is important for two reasons. It is a cogent guide for any district, school or teacher looking to integrate the study or discussion of religion into the curriculum and it outlines clear steps for making any class a learning-centered, inquiry based experience where students participate fully in the teaching and learning process.' - Charles Skidmore, Principal, Arlington High School

'Concerned by the detrimental consequences of religious illiteracy and the divisive nature of the culture wars, Moore appeals to teachers in particular for change. She argues that teachers should be 'treated as professionals, supported as scholars, recognized as moral agents, and given voice as public intellectuals.' An award winning educator, Moore offers teaching models for constructing learning communities to stimulate student-centered inquiry about religions while remaining respectful of religious beliefs.
How refreshing! This is a book of fundamental importance to those interested in educational reform.' Heidi Roupp, World History teacher and founding member of the World History Association

"Moore takes her readers seriously, as she does her students, and challenges us to debate the purpose of education, especially vis-à-vis democracy and the possibilities inherent in talking to each other across differences. Her contributions to this conversation are based on years of classroom teaching as well as scholarship, but she ultimately defies stale scholarly logic: she deftly bridges the chasm between theory and practice, and she dares express an optimism so profound that it is a form of resistance in itself." -Shipley Robertson Salewski, Teacher, 8th Grade English, KIPP Summit Academy

'Moore's in-depth case studies provide teachers with what is often the missing element in substantial theoretical work-how to transfer the intellectual concepts they find compelling into the classroom. Moore does so in a way that will have impact for both teachers and students.' - Clare R. Sisisky, Director and Teacher, Center for the Humanities, Henrico County Public Schools

From the reviews:“In this volume in the Springer Briefs in Ethics series, the author surveys a wide range of current literature for the principles that conform to the phenomenon of the doctor-patient relationship. The purpose is to examine the nature of the doctor-patient relationship. … As a critical review of the current approaches in bioethics, the book is useful for students and scholars interested in theoretical aspects of bioethics in general and the doctor-patient relationship in particular.” (Shahram Ahmadi Nasab Em, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2013)
