This book is concerned with the ecological and environmental consequences of energy extraction, conversion, use and discharge. It contains accounts of world energy resources and reserves and of their rates of use and expected lifetimes. The utilization of any energy form, whether it be renewable or nonrenewable, has ecological and environmental consequences. -- from Preface (page xi).

This beginner's guide explores the major attributes of Seashores and showcases their remarkable diversity using examples from around the globe. In this addition to the About Habitats series, award-winning author Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children about seashores and what kinds of animals and plants live there. John Sill's detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the wide variety of seashore topography. A glossary and afterword provide further fascinating details about the wetlands to inspire readers to learn more.

The application of number-theoretic methods is a new, but rapidly expanding, branch of statistics. The Monte Carlo method is already established, with wide applications in science and technology. In applying it, however, a set of 'pseudo' random numbers is required for statistical simulation, and the use of these numbers often leads to unacceptably large errors. The essence of the number-theoretic method described in this book is to reduce such errors by using number theory to find a set of points (sometimes called quasi random numbers) which can then be regarded as the representatives of a given distribution. The number-theoretic method is hence also known as the quasi or deterministic version of the Monte Carlo method. Number-theoretic Methods in Statistics gives the reader various methods of generating quasi random numbers and demonstrates their applications in solving a variety of statistical problems, for example, the numerical evaluation of probabilities and moments, optimization, experimental design including design of computer experiments and statistical inference.
