This article demonstrates how the realworld data is imported, managed, visualized, and analyzed within the R statistical framework. Presented as a spatial mashup, this tutorial introduces the user to R packages, R syntax, and data structures. The user will learn how the R environment works with R packages as well as its own capabilities in statistical analysis. We will be accessing spatial data in several formats-html, xml, shapefiles, and text-locally and over the web to produce a map of home foreclosure auctions and perform statistical analysis on these events.

The Complete Book Of Beer Drinking Games lives up to its name with descriptions of fifty hilarious beer games like "Thumper and Quarters" to obscure but wild matches like "Slush Fund" and "Boot-a-Bout". The Complete Book Of Beer Drinking Games celebrates a popular pastime for "towns & gowns" young adults with 144 pages of pure nonsense, including photos of four recent Presidents quaffing brew, dozens of synonyms for puking, a complete semester of college classes based entirely on beer, and, of course, the most thorough encyclopedia of rues and regulations to the best party games of all time. Although The Complete Book Of Beer Drinking Games does celebrate enthusiastic partying, the authors are adamantly opposed to excessive drinking, and especial to drunk driving. A graphic photo of a car wreck and a blunt warning against DUI preface the book. -- Midwest Book Review

Ten years after its first publication--and 400,000 copies later--The Complete Book of Beer Drinking Games remains an essential part of great parties. Completely revised and updated, this bible of imbibers contains 50 beer games, hilarious essays, and much more. Plus, there's a deluxe commemorative barf bag in each book.

This excellent graduate-level text discusses the Maxwell field equations, radiation from monochromatic sources in unbounded regions, radiation from wire antennas, radio-astronomical antennas, electromagnetic waves in a plasma, the Doppler effect and more.

This book represents the substance of a course of lectures I gave during the winter of 1964 at the California Institute of Technology. In these lectures I expounded a number of newly important topics in the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation and antennas, with the purpose of presenting a coherent account of the subject in a way that would reveal the inherent simplicity of the basic ideas and would place in evidence their logical development from the Maxwell field equations. So enthusiastically were the lectures received that I was encouraged to put them into book form and thus make them available to a wider audience.

"If you ask men if they spend any time hiding, they usually look at you as if you're nuts. 'What, me hide?' But if you ask women whether men hide, they immediately know what you mean." -- from Where Men Hide

Where Men Hide is a spirited tour of the dark and often dirty places men go to find comfort, camaraderie, relaxation, and escape. Ken Ross's striking photographs and James Twitchell's lively analysis trace the evolution of these virtual caves, and question why they are rapidly disappearing.

Ross documents both traditional and contemporary male haunts, such as bars, barbershops, lodges, pool halls, strip clubs, garages, deer camps, megachurches, the basement Barcalounger, and Twitchell examines their provenance, purpose, and appeal. He finds that for centuries men have met with each other in underground lairs and clubhouses to conduct business or, in the case of strip clubs and the modern rec room, to bond and indulge in shady entertainments. In these secret dens, certain rules are abandoned while others are obeyed. However, Twitchell sees this less as exclusionary behavior and more as the result of social anxiety: when women want to get together, they just do it; when men get together, it's a production.

Drawing on literary, historical, and pop cultural sources, Twitchell connects the places men hide with figures like Hemingway and Huck Finn, Frederick Jackson Turner's theory of the American frontier, and the mythological interpretations of Joseph Campbell and Robert Bly. Instead of blaming the disappearance of the man-cave solely on feminism, simple fair play, or the demands of Title IX, Twitchell believes this evaporation is due as well to the rise of solitary pursuits such as driving, watching television, and playing videogames.

By blending together anecdote, research, and keen observation, Ross and Twitchell bring this little-discussed and controversial phenomenon to light.

About the Author

James B. Twitchell is professor of English and advertising at the University of Florida and author of many books, including Adcult USA and Lead Us Into Temptation. He is also the author of 20 Ads That Shook the World, For Shame, and Branded Nation.

Ken Ross has been a fine art photographer and educator for over thirty years. His photography has been displayed in numerous exhibits and featured in the New York Times and Esquire magazine. He has been awarded a Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation Grant and a New Jersey Artist Fellowship for the photographs seen in Where Men Hide.

The first book to collect the most effective and cutting-edge methods and protocols for deriving and culturing human embryonic and adult stem cells—in one handy resource

This groundbreaking new book follows the tradition of previous books in the Culture of Specialized Cells series—each methods and protocols chapter is laid out exactly like the next, with stepwise protocols, preceded by specific requirements for that protocol, and a concise discussion of methods illustrated by data. The editors describe a limited number of representative techniques across a wide spectrum of stem cells from embryonic, newborn, and adult tissue, yielding an all-encompassing and versatile guide to the field of stem cell biology and culture.

Culture of Human Stem Cells includes a comprehensive list of suppliers for all equipment used in the protocols presented, with Web sites available in an appendix. Additionally, there is a chapter on quality control, and other chapters covering legal and ethical issues, cryopreservation, and feeder layer culture. Culture of Human Stem Cells is a one-stop resource for all researchers, clinical scientists, teachers, and students involved in this crucial area of study.
