› Find signed collectible books: 'Analytical Marxism'
As John Roemer says in his introduction to this volume, 'During the past decade, what now appears as a new species in social theory has been forming: analytically sophisticated Marxism. Its practitioners are largely inspired by Marxian questions which they pursue with contemporary tools of logic, mathematics, and model building ... These writers are, self-consciously, products of both the Marxian and non-Marxian traditions.' This volume assembles substantial and original essays, both published and unpublished, by some of the leading practitioners of 'analytical Marxism'. The essays discuss a number of the fundamental issues of Marxian thought as well as questions that conventional Marxists see no need to raise. They exemplify the ways in which analytical Marxists are beginning to reinvigorate the Marxian tradition and, in doing so, to break down the barriers that have divided it from other forms of social theory. The volume will make an excellent textbook and an ideal introduction to this new approach. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Applied Linear Regression'
Nonlinear Statistical Methods A. Ronald Gallant Describes the recent advances in statistical and probability theory that have removed obstacles to an adequate theory of estimation and inference for nonlinear models. Thoroughly explains theory, methods, computations, and applications. Covers the three major categories of statistical models that relate dependent variables to explanatory variables: univariate regression models, multivariate regression models, and simultaneous equations models. Includes many figures which illustrate computations with SAS(R) code and resulting output. 1987 (0 471-80260-3) 610 pp. Exploring Data Tables, Trends, and Shapes Edited by David C. Hoaglin, Frederick Mosteller, and John W. Tukey Together with its companion volume, Understanding Robust and Exploratory Data Analysis, this work provides a definitive account of exploratory and robust/resistant statistics. It presents a variety of more advanced techniques and extensions of basic exploratory tools, explains why these further developments are valuable, and provides insight into how and why they were invented. In addition to illustrating these techniques, the book traces aspects of their development from classical statistical theory. 1985 (0 471-09776-4) 672 pp. Robust Regression & Outlier Detection Peter J. Rousseeuw and Annick M. Leroy An introduction to robust statistical techniques that have been developed to isolate or identify outliers. Emphasizes simple, intuitive ideas and their application in actual use. No prior knowledge of the field is required. Discusses robustness in regression, simple regression, robust multiple regression, the special case of one-dimensional location, and outlier diagnostics. Also presents an outlook of robustness in related fields such as time series analysis. Emphasizes "high-breakdown" methods that can cope with a sizable fraction of contamination. Focuses on the least median of squares method, which appeals to the intuition and is easy to use. 1987 (0 471-85233-3) 329 pp. [via]

In this book, the author is attempting to make sense, as a philosopher, of the ideas of rationality put forward by economists, sociologists, and political theorists. The book intervenes in intense current debates within and among several disciplines. Its concern is with the true nature of social actors and the proper character of social science. Its arguments are the more challenging for being presented in simple, incisive, and lucid prose. [via]

If you ask Perl programmers today what book they relied on most when they were learning Perl, you'll find that an overwhelming majority will name Learning Perl--also known affectionately as "the Llama." The first edition of Learning Perl appeared in 1993 and has been a bestseller ever since. Written by two of the most prominent and active members of the Perl community, this book is the quintessential tutorial for the Perl programming language.
Perl began as a tool for Unix system administrators, used for countless small tasks throughout the workday. It has since blossomed into a full-featured programming language on practically every computing platform, and is used for web programming, database manipulation, XML processing, and (of course) system administration--all this while still remaining the perfect tool for the small daily tasks it was designed for. Perl is quick, fun, and eminently useful. Many people start using Perl because they need it, but they continue to use Perl because they love it.
The third edition of Learning Perl has not only been updated for Perl 5.6, but has also been rewritten from the ground up to reflect the needs of programmers learning Perl today. Informed by their years of success at teaching Perl as consultants, the authors have re-engineered the book to better match the pace and scope appropriate for readers trying to get started with Perl, while retaining the detailed discussion, thorough examples, and eclectic wit for which the book is famous.
This edition of the Llama includes an expanded and more gently-paced introduction to regular expressions, new exercises and solutions designed so readers can practice what they've learned while it's still fresh in their minds, and an overall reworking to bring Learning Perl into the new millennium.
Perl is a language for getting your job done. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.
