About this book

No study that deals with people and statistics can be of permanent nature. People change and statistics change. The world is in motion. People are restless and migrate every day. The only permanent thing is change. The recent exodus of Indian peoples from Africa demonstrates changes that are reflected in the people themselves as well as in the countries that receive them. Movements from rural to urban living are creating traumatic changes in almost every country. It is expected that humanity will shift and merge into new groupings. The value of the present study will be in the application made, and its degree of effectiveness in the evangelization of the unreached peoples. The emphasis therefore is on the general principle enunciated of presenting a methodology for discovering the unreached, identifying their peculiar characteristics, and evangelizing them by units. The evangelist is encouraged to seek out the distinct units of unreached peoples, discover the felt needs of the unit, to determine the best channels of communication to that unit, and to apply the message of the Gospel to the heart of the people in the language they can best understand. Thus, while it is not imagined that this study will be final, it is hoped that it will stimulate further research and investigation, and that from it will emerge patterns which will not be merely theoretical, but practical and useful for the evangelization of the unreached millions of the world. - Back cover.

The actuality of atonement

Colin E. Gunton

"In a reissue of a masterly examination of both the Christian doctrine of Atonement and the nature and working of theological language, Professor Gunton reassesses the doctrine and the language in which it is expressed in the light of modern scholarly developments. He explains how the traditional metaphors of Atonement, drawn from the battlefield, the altar and the law courts, all express something of the meaning of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus-and examines their bearing on human life in today's world."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Stochastic equations through the eye of the physicist

V.I Klyatskin

Divided into five parts, part I of this book gives mathematical formulation for the physical models of transport, diffusion, propagation. Parts II and III set up and apply the techniques of variational calculus and stochastic analysis. Part IV takes up issues for the coherent phenomena in stochastic dynamical systems. Part V contains appendixes.

Probability Inequalities

Zhengyan Lin, Zhidong Bai

Inequality has become an essential tool in many areas of mathematical research, for example in probability and statistics where it is frequently used in the proofs. "Probability Inequalities" covers inequalities related with events, distribution functions, characteristic functions, moments and random variables (elements) and their sum. The book shall serve as a useful tool and reference for scientists in the areas of probability and statistics, and applied mathematics. Prof. Zhengyan Lin is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and currently a professor at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He is the prize winner of National Natural Science Award of China in 1997. Prof. Zhidong Bai is a fellow of TWAS and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics; he is a professor at the National University of Singapore and Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China.

Practical methods for design and analysis of complex surveys

Risto Lehtonen and Erkki Pahkinen

"Practical Methods for Design and Analysis of Complex Surveys provides a useful practical resource for researchers and practitioners working in the planning, implementation or analysis of complex surveys and opinion polls, including business, educational, health, social and socio-economic surveys and official statistics. In addition, the book is well suited for use on intermediate and advanced courses in survey sampling."--Jacket.
