An excellent reference and self-study guide
I have six books on statistics in my personal library. All of them are bigger than Bulmer's book, but none have been read as many times, and none are as tattered, marked up, and cross-referenced. Simply put, Bulmer's book is the most useful and complete book on basic statistics that I have. It's a nice package in a reasonably sized book with all the most important stuff for dealing with basic statistical problems that many engineers are likely to encounter in a day's work.Chapter 1 is a short blurb on the concept of probability. This is very useful because it places the rest of the text on a very specific and concise footing. Essentially there are two concepts of probability. One is the relative frequency with which an event occurs in the long run. An example of this is the tossing of a coin many times and counting the number of times it comes up heads. The author describes this as statistical probability. The second concept of probability is what the author...

A classic textbook; probably the best introduction around
I've learned probability and statistics from at least four other authors, and have constantly been browsing other textbooks that appear in the bookstore. I chanced upon Bulmer's 1965 book one fortunate day. It is still useful and relevant more than thirty years after its first printing. This clear and elegant book is also concise and straight-to-the-point, offering beautiful and brief developments of material that usually appears hopelessly muddled in many a reputable current statistics textbook (e.g., different notions of probability, the binomial, Poisson, normal distributions, and the Central Limit Theorem). Aside from the solid mathematics and many worked examples, the book includes a few entertaining digressions into the history of the subject. In short, learn and review statistics from this classic. Thank you, Mr. Bulmer, and Dover Publications (for making this textbook available in a nice format at such a low price).

Rich in Insight
This modest little book is both a masterpiece and a gem! I can't praise it enough! It is different from any other statistics book I have ever read in that it puts you in the place of famous historical figures in statistics and helps you rediscover their findings. His use of original source material is very well done. The book is self-contained and the author proves almost everything of importance(some of the proofs are more intuitive than rigorous at times, but that's the point). Bulmer has a knack of making the most difficult concepts (hyperspace, degrees of freedom) seem natural. He covers a very broad terrain from distributions, tests of significance, inference, Bayesian methods, etc. Written on many levels, this is useful for a novice or intermediate student but I suspect professional statisticians will find much to keep them thinking about. While reading through this book you will often say "aha, so that's why they do that". For the price it is the best value...

The best intermediate-level explanation of classical statistics on the market! From basic dice probabilities to modern regression analysis and correlation, Professor Bulmer provides explanations, graphs, charts, and problems (with answers). Equal stress is given to theory and applications. The author assumes no previous knowledge of statistics or probability; only basic calculus is needed.

Product Description

On the gold-symbol world of Beresford's Planet, Richard Kirby lived in total luxury. As a member of "The Set" his life was a never-ending round of planetary party-hopping. The only restriction imposed on him - that he never put down on any world marked with a red or black symbol - was something that he had always accepted without question. That is, until his brother Alec was murdered in cold blood! Alec had been an undercover agent to those forbidden planets, and in order to avenge him, Kirby had to find out for himself what was really happening there. But with the start of his investigation, Kirby found out quickly that the authorities meant business when they said "Hands off!" The secret they were protecting was of vital importance, and it now became a matter of life and death, not only to Kirby, but to all the inhabitants of THE CHANGELING WORLDS. Top to learn more

The Economic History of Latin America Since Independence
Not a single Latin American republic has achieved the status of developed nation after nearly two hundred years from colonial rule. The vast abundance of land, labor and natural resources has not delivered the long-awaited fruits of economic growth and economic development. Victor Bulmer-Thomas provides in this book an excepcionally detailled and balanced account of the factors that affect economic progress until the initial period of implementation of market-oriented reforms. It is in summary, an incomparable source of economic history information for those in love with the Latin American region. For a complete understanding of all the materials contained in the book, certain economic background is advisable.

Definitely 5 Stars
I confirm the five star reviews of this book. This is economic history at its best: lucid and highly informative with well constructed and convincing arguments. Bulmer-Thomas is able to cover two hundred years of the economic history of the entire region, which is no small task. This work cuts no corners; Bulmer-Thomas commands the subject. Any student of Latin America or economic history should read this book.

Product Description

This book covers the economic history of Latin America from independence in the 1820s to the present. It stresses the differences between Latin American countries while recognizing the similar external influences to which the region has been subject. Victor Bulmer-Thomas notes the failure of the region to close the gap in living standards between it and the United States and explores the reasons. He also examines the new paradigm taking shape in Latin America since the debt crisis of the 1980s and asks whether this new economic model will be able to bring the growth and equity that the region desperately needs.

Too Dense
I'm an activist for social justice, and a fan of progressive whole cost economists like Herman Daly, David Ellerman, and Michel Aglietta. I found this work so dense and dry that it was extremely slow going and difficult to absorb. It is a macroeconomic work. It lacks any highly detailed discussions to convey greater clarity and supply a fuller perspective, something I look for in history since I am trying to connect it to microeconomics and the larger sociopolitical context and ultimately environmental and justice issues.

The Chicago School of Sociology

Regular Price: $27.50 |

Product Description

From 1915 to 1935 the inventive community of social scientists at the University of Chicago pioneered empirical research and a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods, shaping the future of twentieth-century American sociology and related fields as well. Martin Bulmer's history of the Chicago school of sociology describes the university's role in creating research-based and publication-oriented graduate schools of social science.

"This is an important piece of work on the history of sociology, but it is more than merely historical: Martin Bulmer's undertaking is also to explain why historical events occurred as they did, using potentially general theoretical ideas. He has studied what he sees as the period, from 1915 to 1935, when the 'Chicago School' most flourished, and defines the nature of its achievements and what made them possible . . . It is likely to become the indispensible historical source for its topic."—Jennifer Platt, Sociology

BULMERS is to celebrate its 125th Anniversary with a celebration at The Cider Museum. "The tradition of weighing the mayor has sadly been lost over the years but we feel now it is the time to reintroduce this event," said Gabe Cook, cider communications manager from Bulmers.

To be honest, I have had unfiltered ciders from Brittany that taste better than Bulmers Cider, but Bulmers will always be my favorite because of how much I associate with it. This weekend, when I saw the cider in San Dimas, I immediately snatched... At that time, there was no way to foresee how much this cider would grow on me, and to what lenghths I would go in order to get my hands on it. Fortunately for me, Bulmers Cider is sold outside of Ireland under the name Magners. Little did I know that I had just ordered Ireland’s most popular cider: Bulmers Cider. There are many cideries that you can tour to see how the cider is made and to taste cider straight from the fermenting casks. I often say that cider is my favorite drink, and I mean it. I have tried dozens upon dozens of different varieties from all sorts of different regions, many of which were outstanding. I acted out the entire exchange a dozen times, then walked into the pub nonchalantly, ordered my cider, and walked out, trying not to giggle in excitement at my successful endeavor. I’ve spent time in Brittany (notably in 2007 when I was Champion of Brittany in the 320m hurdles) and feel a pretty strong connection with the region. Now, my roots may lie in Brittany, but a little part of me has betrayed this region in favor of a nearby country also known for its cider: Ireland. The Irish never troubled me because of my age, but from my trip to Ireland in 2007 to last May, I was not legally allowed to drink cider in the USA. I spent St. Patrick’s day weekend in San Dimas, California for the San Dimas Stage Race this year.
