A Primer for Policy Analysis
ASIN: 0471183091 |
Book Description
Master the fundamental math skills necessary to quantify and evaluate a broad range of environmental questions.
Environmental issues are often quantitative—how much land, how many people, what amount of pollution. Computer programs are useful, but there is no substitute for being able to use a simple calculation to slice through to the crux of the problem. Having a grasp of how the factors interact and whether the results make sense allows one to explain and argue a point of view forcefully to diverse audiences.
With an engaging, down-to-earth style and practical problem-solving approach, Ecological Numeracy makes it easy to understand and master basic mathematical concepts and techniques that are applicable to life-cycle assessment, energy consumption, land use, pollution generation, and a broad range of other environmental issues. Robert Herendeen brings the numbers to life with dozens of fascinating, often entertaining examples and problems.
Requiring only a moderate quantitative background, Ecological Numeracy is a superb introduction for advanced undergraduate students in environmental science, planning, geography, and physical and natural sciences. It is also a valuable professional resource for environmental managers, regulators, and administrators.

Thank god some sanity on the issue!.......2000-12-19
This book should be read by any who want some reality applied to their ecology beliefs. This book is really a competent upper division text book that takes quantitative analysis seriously. My take is that Herendeen is attempting to make ecology into something akin to current day economics. The education about and then critique of cost benefit analysis (consider the time discount rate of the value defined over 300 years) was informative to novices like me who are inclined to promote simple cost benefit analysis approaches of almost all ecology problems. The raw data on large numbers of ecology parameters is also useful (e.g. half life of CO2 in the atmosphere, and hundreds of other data points) just to get some scale to your ecology intuitions.
Too broad range for an environmental issue.......1998-11-22
This book presents a broad range of environmental analysis. We have a brief introduction to the problem. The best way must be a focus in quantitative analyis of specific environemtal problem
Book Description
This monograph takes stock of our current knowledge on the evolutionary ecology of infectious diseases, and sets out the goals for the management of virulent pathogens. Throughout the text, the fundamental concepts and techniques underlying the models are carefully explained in a unique series of integrated boxes.
Book Description
The use of appropriate statistical methods is essential when working with environmental data. Yet, many environmental professionals are not statisticians. A ready reference guide to the most common methods used in environmental applications, Statistics for Environmental Science and Management introduces the statistical methods most frequently used by environmental scientists, managers, and students. Using a non-mathematical approach, the author describes techniques such as: environmental monitoring, impact assessment, assessing site reclamation, censored data, and Monte Carlo risk assessment, as well as the key topics of time series and spatial data. The book shows the strengths of different types of conclusions available from statistical analyses. It contains internet sources of information that give readers access to the latest information on specific topics. The author's easy to understand style makes the subject matter accessible to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of the basics of statistics while emphasizing how the techniques are applied in the environmental field. Clearly and copiously illustrated with line drawings and tables, Statistics for Environmental Science and Management covers all the statistical methods used with environmental applications and is suitable as a text for graduate students in the environmental science area.

Great book for environmental statisticians.......2007-01-22
An excellent book for a college level environmental statistics course and for practising environmental scientists as well as statisticians.
another nicely written elementary text by Manly.......2001-10-12
Bryan Manly has written several very nice elementary texts on statistical design and methodology for both statisticians and practitioners. He has introduced permutation, bootstrap and Monte Carlo methods in one of his bestselling books.
This text is designed to introduce the statistical methodology that is most used in environmental problems. It is intended for the practitioner and assumes little mathematics and only the very basics of probability and statistics. He makes the text self-contained by including an Appendix A that covers basic summary statistics, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
The book starts off with an overview of the role of statistics in environmental science and includes a number of real examples including the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Chapter 2 covers the standard survey sampling techniques and includes unequal probability sampling that is specialized to sampling proportional to size (a very common technique with environmental data). The approaches are clearly explained along with the reasons for their use. Formulas for estimation of population means and the estimates of the variances of these estimators are provided.
Manly then provides in Chapter 3 on "Models for Data", descriptions of various discrete and continuous probability distributions along with their statistical properties. He carefully chooses those commonly used in environmental statistics (commonly called environmetrics these days). He then goes on to discuss linear regression, analysis of variance and generalized linear models.
Chapter 4 "Drawing Conclusions from Data" is rather unique. He talks about the difference between observational studies and experiments and also describes quasi-experiments where treatments or interventions are placed on an existing process and changes are looked for at the time of intervention. He also introduces randomization (also called permutation) methods and the bootstrap. He looks at randomization for hypothesis testing and the bootstrap for confidence intervals. The bootstrap percentile t method is illustrated to obtain an approximate 95% confidence interval for the distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations in 25 lakes. The data is very non-normal and hence bootstrap analysis is more suitable than applying the normal approximation intervals. Other interesting topic in this chapter include meta-analysis, Bayesian methods and multiple testing issues.
Chapter 5 deals with environmental monitoring where change-points can be detected through various types of control charts. Each technique is illustrated with several real examples.
Chapter 6 deals with impact assessment where before-and-after control impact designs are decribed. In these designs a site is chosen for an intervention and another similar site is picked for a control. The process is charted for both sites from before and after the intervention. Various designs are given along with examples.
Chapter 7 deals with the assessment of site reclamation. Here the tricky topic of bioequivalence is explained very well including the sometimes confusing two one-sided t tests due to Schuirmann. Software packages to perform these tests including EquivTest and PASS are mentioned. The package nQuery produced by Statistical Solutions the company that also distributes EquivTest provides sample size determination for equivalence testing.
Time Series analysis is introduced gently in Chapter 8. Manly concentrates on simple useful models and provides tests for serial correlation including the Durbin-Watson test.
Especially important in environmental analysis is the analysis of spatial data. This is also covered rather gently in Chapter 9 concentrating on Kriging methods and the variogram in the examples.
The remaining two chapters cover censored data and Monte Carlo Risk Assessment. By censoring Manly means that the values are truncated if they are above the upper limit of the measurement device (right censoring) or they are left censored if the measurement is below the smallest scale unit. In survival analysis, these same concepts are applied, but refer to time to event data where right censoring predominates. In the Monte Carlo Risk Assessment Chapter, Manly describes two software packages that provide add-ons to spreadsheets to do the Monte Carlo repetition within the spreadsheet and provide sumamry information using bar charts and tables from the spreadsheet software itself. This is a macro-type application in a spreadsheet. Manly illustrate the results for one example using one of these tools.
This book is an excellent reference and could also be used for an introductory course either undergraduate or graduate. However as a text it does not contain any homework exercises.
A nice feature is a summary reminder of the important points covered in each chapter. In each chapter these points are listed as bullet points in the last section titled "Chapter Summary".
Sometimes when studying time series for environmental factors, we are interested in minimum or maximum levels(or extreme order statistics). Maximum levels are important when looking at exposure to pollutants. For climate changes we might be interested in the minimum or maximum temperatures observed in a particular region. Manly uses data on minimum temperatures in Uppsala Sweden during the month of July for the years from 1900 to 1981. He uses a runs test to see if the behavior is random versus the alternative of an increasing trend.
More detailed analyses of these extreme order statistics can be done based on the asymptotic theory for extremes for stationary stochastic processes. Such material can be found in specialized texts such as the one by Leadbetter, Lindgren and Rootzen that Manly cites.
Environmental statistics has been a topic of research since at least the early 1970s. Back then, I was doing my thesis on extreme values based on research work to control pollutants, particularly those emitted from automobiles. There is now a wealth of research articles, particularly on spatial data analysis (which is also studied for geological or astronomical applications). Manly's book is the first statistics text that provides a good overview of environmetrics. He also has references to the related specialized journals that cover it including the Journal of Agricultural Biological and Environmental Statistics that he edits. Chapter 12 is a brief one page summary where Manly describes general references including the Encyclopedia of Environmetrics and the Handbook of Statistics Volume 12 Environmental Statistics. There he also speculates on future research directions.
An excellent text on spatial data analysis is the text by Noel Cressie that Manly does not cite.
Product Description
History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.
Very Interesting.......2007-03-07
It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Poor People's Medicine: Medicaid and American Charity Care since 1965
ASIN: 1402037759 |
Book Description
This book is about the legal, economical, and practical assessment and management of risky activities arising from routine, catastrophic environmental and occupational exposures to hazardous agents. It begins where emission and exposure analysis ends by providing estimates or predictions of deleterious exposures. The book covers the essential aspects of environmental and health law, environmental economics, applied statistical and probabilistic methods, fundamental notions of applied epidemiology and toxicology, as well as decision analysis, to provide an integrated overview of how risk assessment and management combine to produce sound societal outcomes. Risk-based methods play a pivotal role in identifying and ranking alternative, sustainable choices, while accounting for uncertainty and variability. Specifically, most reductions in risks require a balancing of the costs and benefits associated with the action to reduce exposure to a hazard and thus risk. This balancing necessarily involves linking exposure and response through causation. Fundamentally, in risk assessment and management, science and law intersect through legal and scientific causation to the point that the failure to provide a sound causal argument can make an otherwise beneficial law or regulation invalid. The contents of the book have been written with the student’s need in mind: practice, applications and integration take precedence over theory, accomplishing these functions with unparalleled breadth and depth, to provide the methods and criteria for sound decision-making of risk or uncertainty. In addition, each chapter concludes with sample questions to illustrate concepts.
