  • Markov Chains and Mixing Times

    MP-AMM American Mathematical Markov Chains and Mixing Times

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisOffers an introduction to the modern theory of Markov chains, whose goal is to determine the rate of convergence to the stationary distribution, as a function of state space size and geometry. This topic has important connections to combinatorics, statistical physics, and theoretical computer science. Many of the techniques presented originate in these disciplines.Trade Review“Mixing times are an active research topic within many fields from statistical physics to the theory of algorithms, as well as having intrinsic interest within mathematical probability and exploiting discrete analogs of important geometry concepts. The first edition became an instant classic, being accessible to advanced undergraduates and yet bringing readers close to current research frontiers. This second edition adds chapters on monotone chains, the exclusion process and hitting time parameters. Having both exercises and citations to important research papers it makes an outstanding basis for either a lecture course or self-study.” — David Aldous, University of California, Berkeley”Mixing time is the key to Markov chain Monte Carlo, the queen of approximation techniques. With new chapters on monotone chains, exclusion processes, and set-hitting, Markov Chains and Mixing Times is more comprehensive and thus more indispensable than ever. Prepare for an eye-opening mathematical tour!” — Peter Winkler, Dartmouth College”The study of finite Markov chains has recently attracted increasing interest from a variety of researchers. This is the second edition of a very valuable book on the subject. The main focus is on the mixing time of Markov chains, but there is a lot of additional material. In this edition, the authors have taken the opportunity to add new material and bring the reader up to date on the latest research. I have used the first edition in a graduate course and I look forward to using this edition for the same purpose in the near future.” — Alan Frieze, Carnegie Mellon UniversityPraise for the first edition:”Markov Chains and Mixing Times is a magical book, managing to be both friendly and deep. It gently introduces probabilistic techniques so that an outsider can follow. At the same time, it is the first book covering the geometric theory of Markov chains and has much that will be new to experts. It is certainly THE book that I will use to teach from. I recommend it to all comers, an amazing achievement.” — Persi Diaconis, Mary V. Sunseri Professor of Statistics and Mathematics, Stanford University”In this book, [the authors] rapidly take a well-prepared undergraduate to the frontiers of research. Short, focused chapters with clear logical dependencies allow readers to use the book in multiple ways.” — CHOICE MagazineTable of Contents Basic methods and examples: Introduction to finite Markov chains Classical (and useful) Markov chains Markov chain Monte Carlo: Metropolis and Glauber chains Introduction to Markov chain mixing Coupling Strong stationary times Lower bounds on mixing times The symmetric group and shuffling cards Random walks on networks Hitting times Cover times Eigenvalues The plot thickens: Eigenfunctions and comparison of chains The transportation metric and path coupling The Ising model From shuffling cards to shuffling genes Martingales and evolving sets The cutoff phenomenon Lamplighter walks Continuous-time chains Countable state space chains Monotone chains The exclusion process Cesaro mixing time, stationary times, and hitting large sets Coupling from the past Open problems Background material Introduction to simulation Ergodic theorem Solutions to selected exercises Bibliography Notation index Index.

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewSchmidt's tales will prove infectiously engaging even to entomophobes.—Publishers WeeklyOn Schmidt's pain scale, this book rates a zero—painless. On the pleasure scale, it rates a ten, a highly enjoyable read.—Natural HistoryReaders who share my fascination with the natural world, and particularly those who revel in unusual animal facts, will love The Sting of the Wild.—Between the CoversAn excellent book.—NewsweekA good read, with valuable evolutionary context for bees and their insect relatives interwoven with entertaining travel tales of an engaged entomologist.—American Bee JournalEven though the pain-laced topic might leave you wincing, Schmidt’s engaging and entertaining writing makes for a tale worth reading.—Scientific American[Schmidt's] low-down on sting biochemistry and physiology is relentlessly zestful, even as he recounts the swelling, burning consequences of his curiosity.—NatureThe Sting of the Wild is full of the stories of science of stings. Schmidt is an engaging writer, and his youthful enthusiasm for scary critters makes for a book that will sometimes scare you and sometimes make you double over with laughter . . . It’s a masterpiece of nature writing.—Nature's Cool Green ScienceIf you’re interested in bugs of any kind, and especially the notorious ones, this book will entertain, educate, and excite.—Discover MagazineNot only does he explain his Schmidt Sting Pain Index, wherein he rates the pain of numerous stings on a scale of one to four, but he also relates the fascinating natural histories of these animals.—National GeographicTotally fascinating.—FiveThirtyEightThe arms race that created the stinger hypodermic, and its biochemical warfare toxins, was a direct result of communal nesting, because the greater risk of predation demanded a formidable defensive strategy. This is the evolutionary theme through which the author lovingly interjects his own personal anecdotes.—BBC Wildlife MagazineIt's hard to imagine a nature book being more fascinating and fun.—Virgin Radio UKIn addition to providing colorful, connoisseur-grade descriptions of the pain caused by stings, The Sting of the Wild provides all sorts of information about stinging insects.—NewserBeautifully written . . . like nothing else you have ever read.—NPR's Science FridayFull of adventure, humor and Schmidt's impressive scholarship.—Redlands Daily FactsSchmidt, an entomologist at the Southwestern Biological Institute, is an excellent writer. He can write clear, engaging explanations of sting evolution and venom chemistry, as well as spin a good yarn about his adventures collecting stinging insects. I enjoyed his dry, judiciously applied, wit.—Pica HudsoniaThe Sting of the Wild weaves [Schmidt's] theories about stinging insects through a narrative of his personal experiences digging in the dirt. For many readers, the highlight of the book will be the appendix, his celebrated Pain Scale for Stinging Insects, which rates the pain level of dozens of insect stings, an index he created mostly by firsthand experience, either by suffering stings incidentally during field research or, in some cases, by inducing them. Because stings of the same magnitude don’t necessarily feel the same, Schmidt has written haiku-like descriptions for each of the 83 sting entries.—New York Times MagazineThe Sting of the Wild is a delicate and highly refreshing glimpse into the private mind of a professional scientist. —Times Literary SupplementSchmidt’s story is really new, refreshing, and thoroughly entertaining.—Journal of Natural HistoryThis is an informative and engaging story about the fascinating lives behind the insects that you may just think of as very annoying visitors at picnics.—The Biologist[A] surprisingly joyful book. . . Schmidt does a good job of passing on his boundless enthusiasm for insects. The sting of the wild is an easy read, packed with chemistry and anecdotes.—Chemistry WorldThe Sting of the Wild sheds light on the mysteries of stinging insects in a delightful and humorous narration. I recommend the book to every entomologist, ecologist, and naturalist interested in exploring the impressive world of Hymenoptera.—American EntomologistAnecdotes of field encounters with research subjects (and some incidentally encountered forest and desert coinhabitants) are woven throughout and bring readers close to what it feels like to be a field biologist. I will not spoil these dispatches fromthe front lines of venom, other than tomention that amongmy favorites were the author’s adventures with a large Bushmaster snake (a tropical viper) at night in the rain forest, a venomspraying species of wasp nesting above a tropical cliff, and the giant Asian honey bee (again at night) with a team of lucky (?) coworkers. If this cast of animal characters piques your curiosity, I am confident you will thoroughly enjoy The Sting of the Wild.This volume represents the best kind of natural history writing—a treasure trove of solid and fascinating biology cleverly disguised as a good read.—The Quarterly Review of BiologyThe Sting of the Wild is a great book for lay readers. Think of it as insect gossip, though verified gossip, of course. It has that convivial tone of sharing what's going on with the Jones, but the Jones are killer bees... You don't have to be a bug lover to enjoy The Sting of the Wild. I sure am not one, but nature is endlessly inventive and Schmidt knows how to make her inventions interesting and enjoyable.—Tonstant WeaderTable of ContentsPreface1. Stung2. The Stinger3.

    Book SynopsisA comics anthology that illustrates the complicated and multiple experiences of human reproduction and explores comics within the growing field of graphic medicine. Trade Review“Essential for anyone concerned with reproductive health care, this collection will also supply much-needed perspective to parents and would-be parents.”—Martha Cornog Library Journal“The stories are heartfelt, relevant, and entertaining. The art is warm and engaging. Altogether, it’s both an important teaching tool and a study in empathy.”—Graphic Policy“As Graphic Reproduction spells out in black and white: the human reproductive experience gives life to the gray. It’s personal and political, hilarious and heartbreaking, joyful and painful, and everything in between. Forget the shoulds. It’s complicated, and that’s okay. This is what reproduction looks like.”—Kitty Lindsay Los Angeles Review of Books“This collection of comic narratives gives voice to non-normative, marginalized, and, in some cases, stigmatized stories in the arena of human reproduction. By sharing these rich stories, assumptions are challenged, biases are exposed, and stigma is lifted. These are stories of resistance to silence, norms, and expectations. These are stories that return voice, and the collection is an important contribution to Graphic Medicine.”—MK Czerwiec,author of Taking Turns: Stories from HIV/AIDS Care Unit 371“Using textual and visual means, Graphic Reproduction not only documents reproduction in new ways but also forwards new conceptualizations of the range of activities, behaviors, and experiences within the idea of ‘reproduction.’ This is a rich contribution to the areas of the humanities, health and medicine, and reproduction.”—Erin Heidt-Forsythe,Penn State University“Graphic Reproduction’s compelling and often heartrending comics cover aspects of reproduction—including infertility, abortion and miscarriage, labor, and postpartum depression—that are often excluded from popular discourse. Jenell Johnson’s careful, lyrical, and thorough introduction offers a resource for instructors beyond the excellent discussion questions that conclude the manuscript. Comics are well suited to depicting pregnancy for many reasons, but most enticing is the fact that, as Johnson notes, they allow us to imagine and visualize more hopeful reproductive futures.”—Chloe Silverman,author of Understanding Autism: Parents, Doctors, and the History of a Disorder“A pedagogically practical, intellectually rigorous, and aesthetically pleasing volume with well-thought-out selections from the literature.”—Alan S. Weber Configurations“Comics tell the stories of artists and elicit emotions in the readers that would not have been made possible by solely words. In subject matter so sensitive and sometimes polarizing, the collection allows a safe space in which to become immersed in the human reproductive experience.”—Mary Smith Doody's Review ServiceTable of ContentsContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction (Jenell Johnson)1.

" --Library Journal"Concise, lively, and informative, with many colorful anecdotes adding intriguing detail. Milward's deep knowledge of music history and expertise on roots-music genres make Americanaland an essential addition to the music book canon."--Holly George-Warren, author of Janis: Her Life and Music"There’s a common thread that runs through the great patchwork quilt that's come to be known as Americana Music. John Milward has artfully followed every stitch of that thread and revealed the story behind every patch. In doing so he’s made huge strides in giving this rich genre the legitimacy it deserves."--Larry Campbell​​"John Milward’s Americanaland is a book with a sense of place and rhythm. Both are impeccable. The joy of this veteran music writer’s survey of the music that’s come to be called Americana is that he ranges far, digs deep, and dismisses no sound." --Chapter 16 "Americanaland provides a history, clearly showing a dedicated path through musical eras as it points a path to the future." --Alternate Root ​​"Encyclopedic. Kaleidoscopic. John Millward [offers an] account of a century of American music culminating in what we now call Americana. Countless stories of those who have brought this music that bubbles up from a bottomless well sunk deep in American soil."--Jim Rooney "You won’t read a better book on the origins of Americana music this year and I’d be willing to bet it will be quite some time before there’s anything comparable to it. Americanaland is the book that many of us have been waiting for and Milward has timed his publishing perfectly to tap into the zeitgeist as this great music continues to make inroads around the world." --Americana UK

    Book SynopsisDrawing on insider interviews, journalists Maruf and Joseph recount the rise, fall, and resurgence of this overlooked terrorist organization.Trade ReviewFor military enthusiasts, Inside al-Shabaab has vivid descriptions of street-by-street fighting in Mogadishu as the extremists pushed the fragile Somali government to the edge of the sea. For those wondering how Somalia has never been able to shake off the threat, the book has piercing details of what still goes wrong both among Somalis and in the international community. * AP News *Featuring interviews with government officials, former al-Shabaab members, soldiers and numerous other sources, the authors leave no stone unturned in their quest to tell the story of just how al-Shabaab continues to operate and why it continues to attract young people. This is hugely informative painstakingly-researched book. * African Arguments *The book by Maruf and Joseph is a very readable, very informative and in passages thrilling account that provides partly unknown details for Somalia-specialists and a basis for reflection and comparison for counter-terrorism experts. Due to the style of writing, it is even accessible for interested non-specialists. The book is recommended strongly for thinking about and beyond the Somali setting. * African Affairs *Maruf and Josef, who are first-rate journalists, are to be congratulated on this work, which is tricky and somewhat dangerous. -- Kenneth Christie * ID: International Dialogue *Table of ContentsPart 1: Origins and Rise1.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"The past lives in the present of all of us who are the survivors and descendants of extreme forms of inhumanity, and how we deal with it varies in profound ways, from those who would rather forget to those who demand both moral and material remediation as well as full acknowledgement and restorative apology for past injustices. This volume thoroughly and expertly explores all aspects of this tragic problem, from the slow and swift genocides of slavery and Nazi extermination to the sustained, multifaceted crimes of colonialism, as well as the legal, political and other lessons learned in the struggle for remedial justice. The richly informed and powerfully argued chapters fully persuade the reader of the urgency of a movement that has lately gained renewed vigor as well as moral, legal and intellectual clarity and direction. Above all, the work makes clear that the reparation movement’s goals are not only those of acknowledging and rectifying past wrongs and of preventing future ones but, as the police killings of black Americans make clear, of alleviating the inherited evils of the past still active in our times." * Orlando Patterson, author of Slavery and Social Death: A Comparative Study *"Injustices carry consequences, and unaddressed injustices impose consequences that grow and compound, burdening individuals and societies for generations. Time for Reparations brings history, rigor, and imagination to prospects for reparative approaches to searing human rights wounds.
