Bayesian Social Science Statistics: Volume 2
This Element introduces the basics of Bayesian regression modeling using modern computational tools. This Element only assumes that the reader has taken a basic statistics course and has seen Bayesian inference at the introductory level of Gill and Bao (2024). Some matrix algebra knowledge is assumed but the authors walk carefully through the necessary structures at the start of this Element. At the end of the process readers will fully understand how Bayesian regression models are developed and estimated, including linear and nonlinear versions. The sections cover theoretical principles and real-world applications in order to provide motivation and intuition. Because Bayesian methods are intricately tied to software, code in R and Python is provided throughout.

The Little Mermaid and Other Tales
‘Never had she danced so beautifully’

Himmler’s Curtains
For the first eighteen years of Simon Weisz’s life his parents were at pains to keep their past concealed from him. All he knew for sure was that they had grown up in Hungary and that they had arrived in Britain after the Second World War. It was only as he reached manhood that they started to confide their carefully guarded secrets to him: that they were Jewish, and that his mother had experienced the appalling horrors of Nazi persecution.
In conversations over the following decades, Simon’s mother gradually, often reluctantly, revealed more of her past: from the growing oppression her family had had to endure in the late 1930s, to her deportation first to Auschwitz and then to Ravensbrück, to the brutal death march she withstood from the ruins of Berlin in 1945. As he pieced her testimony together, Simon came to realise how the memories she had fought so hard to suppress continued to haunt her in the form of terrifying flashbacks and moments of extreme frustration and anger. And he started to understand how her concealed trauma had, in turn, shaped his own development and the course of his life.
Himmler’s Curtains is both a visceral account of a Holocaust survivor’s experiences, and an impressive study of the impact of suffering on two generations of a family. It also movingly reveals the high psychological price exacted by silence.

Jak maminka vyprávěla o Československu
Každý večer se děti těší na maminčino vyprávění. Nečekají však klasické pohádky, ale kouzelné příběhy, které maminka zažívá při své práci. Rozhlasová reportérka se dostává na místa spjatá s historií naší země a dětem pak přibližuje významné historické události. V jedenácti reportážních pohádkách Michaela Vetešková představuje milníky českých dějin 20. století – první světovou válku, vznik Československa, mobilizaci, únorový převrat, dění v roce 1968, konec totality v roce 1989 i rozdělení Československa. Knihou prochází „vysvětlovníček“, v němž jsou stručně popsána fakta objevující se v pohádkách. Věnuje se osobnostem, například prezidentům Tomáši G. Masarykovi, Edvardu Benešovi, Klementu Gottwaldovi, Václavu Havlovi i událostem, jako je podepsání mnichovské dohody, nebo institucím, včetně Českého rozhlasu.
The Making of the Middle Ages
Trace the tumultuous history of Europe during the Early Middle Ages through 90 specially commissioned maps and a authoritative narrative.
Medieval Europe remains a mystery to many, yet the relative dearth of information about the period cannot mask its crucial importance in history. Often mischaracterized as a time of darkness and decline, the period from AD 476 to 1000 was marked by turmoil, rebirth and transformation.
From the towering legacy of Constantine to the iron rule of Charlemagne, and the Huns, Goths and Saxons to the Slavs, Franks, Vikings, Rus, Bulgars and Magyars, John Haywood brings to life the dynamic story of how a new Europe emerged from the ashes of the crumbling Roman Empire. We witness the spread of Christianity, the emergence of Islam, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the birth of the leading nations of modern Europe. This is not a tale of decline, but a saga of endurance, reinvention and remarkable strength.
Psychopathy in Adolescence and its Consequences in Adulthood
What becomes of young people who display strong psychopathy traits? By combining cutting-edge research with interviews from over 500 incarcerated youth assessed for psychopathy and involved in serious, violent offenses, this book investigates whether they are destined to persist in crime throughout their lives. Evan McCuish explores not only long-term offending patterns but also psychopathy's influence on relationships, employment, substance use, and mortality. Through this, the text clarifies the meaning of the clinical construct of psychopathy and debunks myths and misconceptions popularised by the true crime genre. This allows readers to more reliably interpret the accuracy of popular culture descriptions of psychopathy. Synthesising over 100 years of research, this book defines psychopathy and contributes new knowledge to the field. It is ideal for students, scholars, and practitioners in psychology, criminology, social work, and law seeking further insight into this intriguing disorder.
The Nightkeeper's Apprentice
When Second World War bombs start falling, twelve-year-old Eilidh Flett is evacuated to a place she's never heard of, to live with family she's never met. Stuck on a remote Orkney island, Eilidh's aunt gives her just two rules: don't touch anything that washes up on the shore, and never ever enter the island's lighthouse. But this seemingly dull island is full of surprises. With the help of a ghostly new friend, Eilidh begins to unravel the lighthouse's mysteries: long-kept family secrets, a hidden order of Nightkeepers, and a darkly dangerous magic that could change the world as she knows it. Does Eilidh have what it takes to become a Nightkeeper's Apprentice? This enthralling upper middle grade mystery explores destiny, loss and hope. Jude Reid's lyrical debut children's novel is inspired by the wild places and magical folklore of Scotland.
