Many well-intentioned people these days look to the realm of politics for the solutions to the many and diverse societal problems facing the world. They believe that if only they could get good people into seats of power, then all would begin to correct itself and heal. These are noble and sane beliefs; indeed, one would expect the political route to bring this hoped-for outcome. Thats what politics are for, after all, right? We have come to believe that government does the will of the people, that the vote of the individual is the ultimate shaper of policy. The reality, however, is quite different, and this is borne out factually and undeniably here.. Paperback. Good., Maxkol Communications (2000), 2000, Hamish Hamilton. Very Good/Very Good. 1977.

From the dj, "In 1939 Winston Churchill said of the Soviet Union, `It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.' Is there a key to Enoch Powell? His life abounds in paradoxes and apparent contradictions. `I was born a Tory and I shall die a Tory,' he said in 1968. Yet in February and October 1974 he advised the electorate to vote Labour and did so himself. Since 1970 he has ridiculed the concept of an incomes policy, yet when Minister of Health in 1961 he brutally refused the nurses a pay rise of more than 22 per cent. As early as the 1960s Powell was rejecting any British military commitment outside Europe; ten years earlier he was advocating the recruitment of a large coloured army to maintain Britain's position as a world power; in 1947 he actually drew up a plan for the forcible retention of India by Britain. Unable to secure nomination for a constituency in England and having declined to stand again at Wolverhampton in February 1974, Powell now sits for the Northern Ireland seat of South Down. His party stands for the restoration of the Northern Ireland Constitution, Powell, by contrast, advocates total integration with Britain. Still commanding a considerable following on the right wing of the Conservative Party, Powell has been a consistent defender of the abolition of capital punishment and a supporter of homosexual law reform. Powellism includes, above all, a total halt to coloured immigration from the Commonwealth and the encouragement, through a Ministry of Repatriation, of many of those who are here, to return to their country of racial origin even if they know no other home but Britain. Yet in 1964 Powell wrote, `I have set and always will set my face like flint against making any difference between one citizen of this country and another on grounds of his origin.' ., Hamish Hamilton, 1977, New Delhi, India: Gyan Books Pvt.

In a crowded courtroom in Mississipi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town`s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it. Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided? The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice. The Appeal is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, a story that will leave readers unable to think about our electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again. --> Genre: Crime Mystery-> this Paperback book the publishing house is Arrow Books Ltd in 2008 it has 501 pages booksalvation have grade it as good and Has A Few Scuffs Marks Etc Reasonable used book it will be shipped from our UK warehouse shipping is Free for UK buyers and at a reasonable charge for buyer outside the UK, Arrow Books Ltd, Hansard Society for Parliamentary Government, 1958.

As of the 2010 census, the population was 151,131. Its county seat is Graham. Formed in 1849 from Orange County to the east, Alamance County has been the site of significant historical events, textile manufacturing, and agriculture.Alamance County comprises the Burlington Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point Combined Statistical Area. The 2012 estimated population of the metropolitan area was 153,920.Before being formed as a county, the region had at least one known small Southeastern tribe of Native American in the 18th century, the Sissipahaw, who lived in the area bounded by modern Saxapahaw, the area known as the Hawfields, and the Haw River. European settlers entered the region in the late 17th century chiefly following Native American trading paths, and set up their farms in what they called the "Haw Old Fields", fertile ground previously tilled by the Sissipahaw. The paths later became the basis of the railroad and interstate highway routes.Alamance County was named after Great Alamance Creek, site of the Battle of Alamance (May 16, 1771), a pre-Revolutionary War battle in which militia under the command of Governor William Tryon crushed the Regulator movement. Great Alamance Creek, and in turn Little Alamance Creek, according to legend, were named after a local Native American word to describe the blue mud found at the bottom of the creeks. Other legends say the name came from another local Native American word meaning "noisy river", or for the Alamanni region of Rhineland, Germany, where many of the early settlers came from.During the American Revolution, several small battles and skirmishes occurred in the area that became Alamance County, several of them during the lead-up to the Battle of Guilford Court House, including Pyle's Massacre, the Battle of Lindley's Mill, and the Battle of Clapp's Mill.In the 1780s, the Occaneechi Native Americans returned to North Carolina from Virginia, this time settling in what is now Alamance County rather than their first location near Hillsborough. In 2002, the modern Occaneechi tribe bought 25 acres (100,000 m2) of their ancestral land in Alamance County and began a Homeland Preservation Project that includes a village reconstructed as it would have been in 1701 and a 1930s farming village.During the early 19th century, the textile industry grew heavily in the area, and so the need for better transportation grew. By the 1840s several mills were set up along the Haw River and near Great Alamance Creek and other major tributaries of the Haw. Between 1832 and 1880, at least 14 major mills were powered by these rivers and streams. Mills were built by the Trollinger, Holt, Newlin, Swepson, and Rosenthal families, among others. One of them, built in 1832 by Ben Trollinger, is still in operation. It is owned by Copland Industries, sits in the unincorporated community of Carolina and is the oldest continuously operating mill in North Carolina.One notable textile produced in the area was the "Alamance Plaids" or "Glencoe Plaids" used in everything from clothing to tablecloths. The Alamance Plaids manufactured by textile pioneer Edwin M. Holt were the first colored cotton goods produced on power looms in the South, and paved the way for the region's textile boom. (Holt's home is now the Alamance County Historical Society.) But by the late 20th century, most of the plants and mills had gone out of business, including the mills operated by Burlington Industries, a company based in Burlington.By the 1840s, the textile industry was booming, and the railroad was being built through the area as a convenient link between Raleigh and Greensboro. The county was formed on January 29, 1849 from Orange County.In March 1861, Alamance County residents voted overwhelmingly against North Carolina's secession from the Union, 1,114 to 254. Two delegates were sent to the State Secession Convention, Thomas Ruffin and Giles Mebane, who both opposed secession, as did most of the delegates sent to the convention. At the time of the convention, around 30% of Alamance County's population were slaves (total population of c. 12,000, including c. 3,500 slaves and c. 500 free blacks).North Carolina was reluctant to join other Southern states in secession until the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861. When Lincoln called up troops, Governor John Ellis replied, "I can be no party to this wicked violation of the laws of the country and to this war upon the liberties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Carolina." After a special legislative session, North Carolina's legislature unanimously voted for secession on May 20, 1861.No battles took place in Alamance County, but it sent its share of soldiers to the front lines. In July 1861, for the first time in American history, soldiers were sent in to combat by rail. The 6th North Carolina was loaded onto railroad cars at Company Shops and transferred to the battlefront at Manassas, Virginia (First Battle of Manassas).Although the citizens of Alamance County were not directly affected throughout much of the war, in April 1865 they witnessed firsthand their sons and fathers marching through the county just days before the war ended with the surrender at Bennett Place near Durham. At Company Shops General Joseph E. Johnston stopped to say farewell to his soldiers for the last time. By the end of the war, 236 people from Alamance County had been killed in the course of the war, more than any other war since the county's founding.Some of the Civil War's most significant effects were seen after it ended. Alamance County briefly became a center of national attention when in 1870 Wyatt Outlaw, an African-American Town Commissioner in Graham, was lynched by the "White Brotherhood," the Ku Klux Klan. He was president of the Alamance County Union League of America (an anti-Klan group), helped to establish the Republican party in North Carolina and advocated establishing a school for African Americans. His offense was that Governor William Holden had appointed him a Justice of the Peace, and he had accepted the appointment. Outlaw's body was found hanging 30 yards from the courthouse, a note pinned to his chest reading, "Beware! You guilty parties both white and black." Outlaw was the central figure in political cooperation between blacks and whites in the county.Holden declared Caswell County in a state of insurrection (July 8) and sent troops to Caswell and Alamance counties under the command of Union veteran George W. Kirk, beginning the so-called Kirk-Holden War. Kirk's troops ultimately arrested 82 men.The Grand Jury of Alamance County indicted 63 Klansmen for felonies and 18 for the murder of Wyatt Outlaw. Soon after the indictments were brought, Democrats in the legislature passed a bill to repeal the law under which the indictments had been secured. The 63 felony charges were dropped. The Conservatives then used a national program of "Amnesty and Pardon" to proclaim amnesty for all who committed crimes on behalf of a secret society. This was extended to the Klansmen of Alamance County. There would be no justice in the case of Wyatt Outlaw.Holden's support for Reconstruction led to his impeachment and removal by the North Carolina Legislature in 1871.The county was once the state leader in dairy production. Several dairies including Melville Dairy in Burlington were headquartered in the county. With increasing real estate prices and a slump in milk prices, most dairy farms have been sold and many of them developed for real estate purposes.According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 435 square miles (1,130 km2), of which 424 square miles (1,100 km2) is land and 11 square miles (28 km2) (2.5%) is water.The county is in the Piedmont physiographical region. It has a general rolling terrain with the Cane Creek Mountains rising to over 970 ft (300 m) in the south central part of the county just north of Snow Camp. Bass Mountain, one of the prominent hills in the range, is home to a world-renowned bluegrass music festival every year. There are also isolated monadnocks in the northern part of the county that rise to near or over 900 ft (270 m) above sea level.The largest river that flows through Alamance County is the Haw, which feeds into Jordan Lake in Chatham County, eventually leading to the Cape Fear River. The county is also home to numerous creeks, streams, and ponds, including Great Alamance Creek, where a portion of the Battle of Alamance was fought. There are three large municipal reservoirs: Lake Cammack, Lake Mackintosh, and Graham-Mebane Lake (formerly Quaker Lake)., United States Department of Agriculture - Soil Conservation Service, 2006, London England: Coronet.

A KEY WORK BY THE FATHER OF PROBABILITY THEORY. Third edition. This is a key work by the father of probability theory in which major steps in the measurement of uncertainty were achieved. De Moivre is best known in statistical circles for his famous large-sample approximation to the binomial distribution, whose generalization is now referred to as the Central Limit Theorem. De Moivre was one of the great pioneers of classical probability theory. [Bellhouse-Genest, p.1]. It is the first systematic treatment of probability in English. Abraham De Moivre became, with Edmund Halley, a founder of English actuarial science. The authors dedicatory letter is address to Lord George Carpenter (1702-1749) (the first edition had been dedicated to Newton), where the author states emphatically that this Doctrine is so far from encouraging Play, that it is rather a Guard against it... [DNB, vol. 38, p.116]. The first edition of this work contains 175 pages, the second edition 258 pages and the third 348 pages. The following list will indicate the parts which are new in the third edition: the Remark pages 30/33 and pages 48 & 49, the greater part of the second Corollary pages 64/66, the Examples page 88; the Scholium page 95, the Remark page 149 and pages 151/159, the fourth Corollary page 162, the second Corollary pages 176/179, the note at the foot of page 187, the Remark pages 251/254. The part on life annuities is very much changed. The Introduction is very much fuller than the corresponding part of the first edition. In his third edition De Moivre draws attention to the convenience of approximating to a fraction with a large numerator and denominator by continued fractions, which he calls the Method proposed by Dr. Wallis, Huygens and others. He gives the rule for the formation of the successive convergents. This third edition contains 74 problems exclusive of those relating to life annuities (in the first edition there were 53 problems). The pages 220/229 contains one of De Moivres most valuable contributions to mathematics, namely that of Recurring series. Pages 261/328 are devoted to Annuities on lives ; an Appendix finishes the book, occupying pages 329/348 : this also relates principally to annuities, but it contains a few notes on the subject of probability. (Todhunter). A very full account of the above third edition will be found in Todhunters History of the theory of probability. De Moivres first book on probability was based upon a short memoir entitled De mensura sortis, published in the 1711 volume of the Philosophical Transactions. The 1718 first edition is essentially a gamblers manual, giving a systematic presentation of the arithmetic principles upon which are based the solution of problems concerning the advantage of players and size of wager which may be lain in a wide variety of games of chance. [Walker]. It does not contain De Moivres work on the normal approximation of the binomial probability distribution, which ranks as the most memorable of his discoveries; this discovery was first printed in its entirety in 1733 in a Latin pamphlet, which was later translated into English and incorporated, in successively expanded versions, in the second (1738) and [posthumous] third (1756) edition of The doctrine of chances. [Norman]. In terms of mathematics applied to the human actuarial lifespan, De Moivre, French Huguenot mathematician and demographer, formulated the hypothesis that among a body of persons over a certain age the successive annual decreases by death are nearly equal. [Garrison & Morton]. De Moivres work on the theory of probability surpasses anything done by any other mathematician except Laplace. His principal contributions are his investigations respecting the duration of play, his theory of recurring series and his extension of the value of Bernouillis theorem by the aid of Sterlings theorem. (Cajori). De Moivre, born at Vitry, received a varied education and settled in London as a Huguenot refugee in 1688. In England he continued his study of mathematics while working as a tutor. He is said to have acquired (and read) a copy of Newtons Principia and even to have carried loose sheets around with him to study at every available moment. This method of study worked so well that not only did he become one of Englands foremost mathematicians, but Newton, in old age, was in the habit of referring questions about the Principia to De Moivre. De Moivres Doctrines of Chance is in fact a revised and expanded translation of his essay De Mensura Sortis which had been published in Latin in the Philosophical Transactions in 1711. In its Latin form it thus preceded Jacob Bernoullis Ars Conjectandi (1713) by a full two years. De Moivre was a French mathematician famous for De Moivres formula, which links complex numbers and trigonometry, and for his work on the normal distribution and probability theory. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1697, and was a friend of Isaac Newton, Edmund Halley, and James Stirling. Among his fellow Huguenot exiles in England, he was a colleague of the editor and translator Pierre des Maizeaux. Shafer points out that De Moivre, one of Jacob Bernoullis successors, was among those who were applying Huygens theories to both games and economies (p. 11). He points out that the 1718 first edition was influenced by Bermoulli in that he used the word probability which was a word he did not use in his De mensura sortis. He continues: We should not exaggerate De Moivres importance in the eighteenth century. In retrospect, he represents the pat that mathematical probability followed, but he was hardly a philosopher of Jacobs caliber, and Jacob retained a strong influence throughout the century among those who wanted to understand probability philosophically. Jacobs and Hoopers rules survived the whole course of that century in the works of philosophically sophisticated writers such as Lambert and Diderot. They disappeared only after Bayesian alternatives were developed by Laplace. (pp. 13-14). Steve Stigler and Lorraine Daston expand on the use of the word probability in the eighteenth century. Theodore Porter (UCLA) writes that De Moivre introduced the astronomers law error to probability theory (p. 93). Like most early probability mathematics, it first arose in the context of games of chance; it appeared as the limit of the binomial distribution. Because of its usefulness in combination and permutation problems, the binomial had become the heart of the doctrine of chances. De Moivre then showed in a paper of 1733, reprinted in 1738 in the second edition of his Doctrine of Chances, that the exponential error function gave a very good approximation to the distribution of possible outcomes for problems like the result of 1,000 coin tosses Now, for the first time, it was practicable to apply probability theory to indefinitely large numbers of independent events. PROVENANCE: [I] Thomas Spencer [undetermined]. [II] F.N.D. Florence Nightingale David (1909-1993), also known as F. N. David was an English statistician, born in Ivington, Herefordshire, England. She was named after Florence Nightingale, who was a friend of her parents. David did not like her forenames and thus always referred to herself as F. N. David. She attended the Bedford College for Women in London, earning her degree in mathematics in 1931. She then joined University College, London to work with Karl Pearson who obtained a scholarship for her, working as his research assistant, resulting in a doctorate received in 1938 (Pearson died in 1934). In 1938 her first book was published, Tables of the Correlation Coefficient. During that period she was working with Jerzy Neyman. During World War II she served as Experimental Officer in the Ordnance Board for the Ministry of Supply, Senior Statistician for the Research and Experiments Department for the Ministry of Home Security, Member of the Land Mines Committee of the Scientific Advisory Council, and as Scientific Advisor on Mines to the Military Experimental Establishment. Her work during this time ranged from the study of bombing patterns and damage to the problem of discovering the placement of enemy land mines and a methodology for randomly placing land mines so as to avoid the semblance of any pattern in their placement. [Garber et.al.] After WWII she came back to University College, London, and was appointed professor in 1962. Five or six years later she took a position at the University of California, Riverside, becoming head of the Department of Statistics in 1970. Retiring in 1977 she came to Berkeley and continued her research. this book bears her initials on the Francis Galton Laboratory bookplate; she gave her books to Margaret Stein of Stanford University.

William Hickey (1798-1866) published the present work after contemporary printings of the Constitution were found to contain numerous errors, which was common in early printed works in the U.S., given the general lack of concern for punctuation and orthography. Hickey, a member of the Senate's clerical staff, resolved the problem by publishing a copy of the Constitution, carefully edited to remove the excess of errors. Samuel Colt (1814-1862) He founded Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company (now known as Colt's Manufacturing Company) and made the mass production of the revolver commercially viable. He is equally known for his aggressive marketing technique tying his revolvers to American patriotism, freedom, and individualism.
