Lindsay Moir, "The Law of Internal Armed Conflict"

There is considerable writing on the laws designed to regulate war, but most of
this material is devoted to international wars between different states. Lindsay
Moir examines the laws which exist to protect civilians caught up in armed
conflicts within a single state. This book traces the development of
international law from the nineteenth century, up to events arising from the
conflicts in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. It demonstrates how human rights
can offer protection during armed conflict and how effectively (and by whom) the
relevant rules can be enforced.

Alvin C. Rencher, "Methods of Multivariate Analysis" (2nd edition)
Wiley-Interscience | ISBN 0471418897 | 2002 Year | linked PNG-files | 40 Mb |
738 Pages[cut]
A primer on the analysis of multiple variables for students and scientists alike
"This book strikes a nice balance between meeting the needs of statistics majors
and students in other fields. The discussion of each multivariate technique is
straightforward and quite comprehensive. This textbook is likely to become a
useful reference for students in their future work." andmdash; Journal of the
American Statistical Association "In this well-written and interesting book,
Rencher has done a great job in presenting intuitive and innovative explanations
of some of the otherwise difficult concepts." andmdash; CHOICE "This book is
excellent for an introductory course in multivariate analysis for students with
minimal background in mathematics and statistics." andmdash; Technometrics
"Excellent introduction to standard topics in multivariate analysis." andmdash;
American Mathematical Monthly When measuring several variables on a complex
experimental unit, it is often necessary to analyze the variables
simultaneously, rather than isolate them and consider them individually.
Multivariate analysis enables researchers to explore the joint performance of
such variables and to determine the effect of each variable in the presence of
the others. The Second Edition of Alvin Renchers Methods of Multivariate
Analysis provides students of all statistical backgrounds with both the
fundamental and more sophisticated skills necessary to master the discipline. To
illustrate multivariate applications, the author provides examples and exercises
based on fifty-nine real data sets from a wide variety of scientific fields.
Rencher takes a "methods" approach to his subject, with an emphasis on how
students and practitioners can employ multivariate analysis in real-life
situations. The Second Edition contains revised and updated chapters from the
critically acclaimed First Edition as well as brand-new chapters on: Cluster
analysis Multidimensional scaling Correspondence analysis Biplots Each chapter
contains exercises, with corresponding answers and hints in the appendix,
providing students the opportunity to test and extend their understanding of the
subject. Methods of Multivariate Analysis provides an authoritative reference
for statistics students as well as for practicing scientists and clinicians.
Amstat News asked three review editors to rate their top five favorite books in
the September 2003 issue. Methods of Multivariate Analysis was among those
chosen.

Allen W. Johnson, "Families of the Forest: The Matsigenka Indians of the
Peruvian Amazon"

The idea of a family level society, discussed and disputed by anthropologists
for nearly half a century, assumes moving, breathing form in Families of the
Forest. According to Allen Johnson's deft ethnography, the Matsigenka people of
southeastern Peru cannot be understood or appreciated except as a family level
society; the family level of sociocultural integration is for them a lived
reality. Under ordinary circumstances, the largest social units are individual
households or small extended-family hamlets. In the absence of such "tribal"
features as villages, territorial defense and warfare, local or regional
leaders, and public ceremonials, these people put a premium on economic self-
reliance, control of aggression within intimate family settings, and freedom to
believe and act in their own perceived self-interest.
Johnson shows how the Matsigenka, whose home is the Amazon rainforest, are able
to meet virtually all their material needs with the skills and labor available
to the individual household. They try to raise their children to be independent
and self-reliant, yet in control of their emotional, impulsive natures, so that
they can get along in intimate, cooperative living groups. Their belief that
self-centered impulsiveness is dangerous and self-control is fulfilling anchors
their moral framework, which is expressed in abundant stories and myths.
Although, as Johnson points out, such people are often described in negative
terms as lacking in features of social and cultural complexity, he finds their
small-community lifestyle efficient, rewarding, and very well adapted to their
environment.

Lipo Wang, Xiuju Fu, "Data Mining with Computational Intelligence"
Springer | ISBN 3540245227 | 2005 Year | PDF | 2 Mb | 276 Pages[cut]
Finding information hidden in data is as theoretically difficult as it is
practically important. With the objective of discovering unknown patterns from
data, the methodologies of data mining were derived from statistics, machine
learning, and artificial intelligence, and are being used successfully in
application areas such as bioinformatics, banking, retail, and many others. Wang
and Fu present in detail the state of the art on how to utilize fuzzy neural
networks, multilayer perceptron neural networks, radial basis function neural
networks, genetic algorithms, and support vector machines in such applications.
They focus on three main data mining tasks: data dimensionality reduction,
classification, and rule extraction. The book is targeted at researchers in both
academia and industry, while graduate students and developers of data mining
systems will also profit from the detailed algorithmic descriptions.
