  We wrote this book, Statistics for Psychology, specifically to serve as a resource for schooling and instruction. After spending several decades as a teacher of behavioural statistics, the author, who became widely known for his pedagogical prowess, intended to create a textbook that would apply the most effective classroom approaches to the written page. He did this by combining the textbook with the most effective classroom approaches. To achieve this, this book employs a variety of tactics, including timely pointing and highlighting devices, strategic reviews and reminders, a focus on the most pertinent content, and timely anticipating of the student's perspective. Additionally, Evans' technique emphasizes underlying logic and intuitive conceptions rather than sophisticated mathematical formulas and proofs, and it does so within the context of an engaging writing style. This contrasts other methods, which emphasize both of these aspects. One can say that there is a healthy balance between conceptual and computational aspects across the entirety of the object. This work is suitable for students taking their first course in behavioural statistics. After experiencing this subject, the reader will be better prepared for advanced courses and direct applications. We also provide internet links to complimentary additional supplements at www.ebookslimited.com to enhance your reading experience. Teachers of behavioural statistics and their students are the intended beneficiaries of these supplements.

  The book "SQL Simplified: A Practical Introduction for Beginners: Unlocking the Power of Databases" will help you master the basic concepts of SQL and bring to their full power the power of databases. This book will guide you through the basic ideas of Structured Query Language, the universal language that manages and operates relational databases, if you are a newcomer to databases or otherwise require a refreshing of your underpinning knowledge. 
  The way this book is structured helps make you smarter over time. To get started, ensure you know what databases are and how to use SQL to communicate with them. Every chapter brings a new skill and detailed explanation accompanied by an example from real-life experience: building tables, managing relationships between data, writing simple queries, and leveraging strong SQL functions. By the end of the book, you'll be very confident that your database operation can really handle those grueling operations, including the use of subqueries, joining tables, and speeding up your database. 
  "SQL Simplified" is also characterized by a pragmatic approach: much of the text is devoted to putting new SQL syntax knowledge acquired into practice in solving real problems. Such features place this book at a top level among tools designed to work efficiently with SQL without regard to the size of the database or the number of datasets managed. 
  "SQL Simplified" is ideal for any improvement in the technical skill set for students and aspiring developers; it gives you the confidence and efficiency to manipulate the data. Now, use SQL to discover the power of databases.

  Inventing Niagara - Beauty Power...

  Americans call Niagara Falls a natural wonder, but the falls aren't very natural anymore. In fact, they are a study in artifice. Water diverted, riverbed reshaped, brink stabilized, and landscape redesigned, the falls are more a monument to man's meddling than to nature's strength. Held up as an example of something real, they are hemmed in with fakery—waxworks, haunted houses, IMAX films, and ersatz Indian tales. A symbol of American manifest destiny, they are shared politely with Canada. Emblematic of nature's power, they are completely human-controlled. An archetype of natural beauty, the falls belie an ugly environmental legacy still bubbling up from below. On every level, Niagara Falls is a monument to how America falsifies nature, reshaping its contours and redirecting its force while claiming to submit to its will. 
   
  Combining history, reportage, and personal narrative, Inventing Niagara traces Niagara's journey from sublime icon to engineering marvel to camp spectacle. Along the way, Ginger Strand uncovers the hidden history of America's waterfall: the Mohawk chief who wrested the falls from his adopted tribe, the revered town father who secretly assisted slave catchers, the wartime workers who unknowingly helped build the atomic bomb, and the building contractor who bought and sold a pharaoh. With an uncanny ability to zero in on the buried truth, Strand introduces us to underwater dams, freaks of nature, mythical maidens, and 280,000 radioactive mice buried at Niagara. 
   
  From LaSalle to Lincoln to Los Alamos, Mohawks to Marilyn, Niagara's story is America's story, a tale of dreams founded on the mastery of nature. At a time of increasing environmental crisis, Inventing Niagara shows us how understanding the cultural history of nature might help us to rethink our place in it today.

  Fake Photos

  Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, and other dictators routinely doctored photographs so that the images aligned with their messages. They erased people who were there, added people who were not, and manipulated backgrounds. They knew if they changed the visual record, they could change history. Once, altering images required hours in the darkroom; today, it can be done with a keyboard and mouse. Because photographs are so easily faked, fake photos are everywhere—supermarket tabloids, fashion magazines, political ads, and social media. How can we tell if an image is real or false? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Hany Farid offers a concise and accessible guide to techniques for detecting doctored and fake images in photographs and digital media. 
   
   
   
  Farid, an expert in photo forensics, has spent two decades developing techniques for authenticating digital images. These techniques model the entire image-creation process in order to find the digital disruption introduced by manipulation of the image. Each section of the book describes a different technique for analyzing an image, beginning with those requiring minimal technical expertise and advancing to those at intermediate and higher levels. Farid explains when each technique should be applied and offers examples of image analysis.
