Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-12 00:00:00 Robert M Walter Modern Elementary Statistics is an introdutory level textbook that teaches the fundamentals of modern statistics. It covers descriptive statistics, probability theory and statistical inference in a clear and logical way, providing many examples and problems to be solved. Another good feature is that a somewhat more advanced material is also presented by the author, who marks the corresponding sections with a star. The teacher or instructor of a course based on the book has some flexibility for tailoring the presentation to her specific audience, and the same textbook can be used in different situations. One of the best textbooks available on the subject; no wonder it is still being used after almost half a century since the first edition was published in 1967.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-06-12 00:00:00 Lance Reynolds In late XIX century a major political and sociological change occurred in Japan, the so called Meiji Restoration. After centuries of self-imposed isolation, Japan finally decided to open up to international relations and trade. This process also meant the creation of a modern army and navy. In typical Japanese fashion, the country did not re-invent the wheel but looked at how the powers at the time were organized. Hence, they decided to develop their navy following the organization and structure of the most powerful one: the Royal Navy. What happens next is a fascinating story of how the most recently created navy became the third navy of the world (in terms of size) by early XX century. Only to face total destruction at the end of WW2 in the Pacific theatre. Richard Humble's narrative is concise and precise, and in a mere 160 pages work he manages to describe quite correctly the development and eventual decline of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Naturally, in 160 pages there´s little room to delve deep in details when it comes to relating major events such as the Battle of Midway. However, the book is also packed with many pictures, maps and illustrations; which greatly enhances the final result. On a personal note I would add that being far from an authoritative work, this book is recommended if you want to learn how the IJN developed from its inception to its destruction. At any rate it is a very compelling read.
