            Book Description

            Esta es una obra orientada a iniciar cursos de estadística de administración y economía. El principal objetivo del autor es lograr un texto introductorio a la estadística que sea claro y comprensible, así como interesante e informativo, que ilustre la importancia de la estadística en la toma de decisiones.

            En este libro la notación matemática se utiliza solamente cuando es necesario, cuidando por completo las demostraciones y las deducciones. De este modo, se evita que el estudiante trunque el aprendizaje sobre la materia debido a su desconocimiento de algunas operaciones matemáticas que, en ocasiones, otras obras aplican innecesariamente a la estadística.

            La explicaciones tienen un tono informal e intuitivo, y a menudo se complementan con el material visual adecuado, principalmente con gráficas. Asimismo, la obra constituye una guía de estudio que facilita el aprendizaje con uno y otro medio y que es vital para el aprendizaje al ritmo de cada uno de los estudiantes.

            Todos los capítulos empiezan con una sinopsis y una relación de objetivos; se proporcionan amplias tablas para las distribuciones binomial y de Poisson, temas de gran importancia estadística. Al concluir cada capítulo se presenta una lista de temas de repaso y al final del libro se dan las respuestas de todos los ejercicios.

                      Book Description

                      This up-to-date and comprehensive DVD-ROM provides an exhaustive, authoritative, and unique collection of documents about American election procedures, voting, and balloting, including special material about the 2004 Presidential election and the Electoral College, with over 200,000 pages and nearly 4 gigabytes of material. There is a wealth of information pertinent to laws, rules, and court cases on disputed election results, ballot recounts, court challenges, ballots and voting equipment, undervotes, overvotes, civil rights and disenfranchisement, provisional ballots, voter fraud and intimidation, and military and overseas ballots. We have also included the entire contents of our CD-ROM title on the Florida 2000 Bush versus Gore election recount cases with full Supreme Court coverage (which sells separately). Every aspect of the Supreme Court cases is covered - petitions, oral argument transcripts, briefs, and opinions.

                      There is detailed coverage of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), the Voting Rights Act and the enforcement activities of the Department of Justice, the work of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), and the Office of Special Counsel related to the Hatch Act. Coverage of the Federal Election Commission is notably thorough, with complete information on campaign finance reports, reporting forms and filing information, historical demographic statistics and reports, constitutional and statutory provisions, regulations and reports on the Bipartisan Campaign Reform of Act of 2002 (BCRA, McCain-Feingold), political parties, voter registration (including the Voter Registration Act - Motor Voter) and much more. This DVD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all PDF files on the disc fully searchable. The massive scope of this material is truly awesome!

                      In addition, there are historical voting tables from Congressional elections, and election statistics gathered by the House from 1920 to 2002; House lobbying disclosure forms, and Senate election material.

                      In all, the disc has an incredible total of over 200,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the disc. Advanced search and indexing features are built into our reproduction, providing a complete full-text index. This enables the user to search all the PDF files on the disc at one time for words or phrases using just one search command! The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. There is no other reference format that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

                      Our discs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched, or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are.

                      This DVD-ROM is for use in a computer DVD drive. The files can be accessed from the File Explorer in the same way that you open files from a CD-ROM disc; the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats are functionally the same, but the DVD has more than six times greater storage capacity. Of course, these discs CANNOT be "played" in a DVD player connected to a television set. They contain computer-formatted data, not video.

                                        A Traveler's Guide to Mars revitalizes the Red Planet, leaving readers with the urge to don a spacesuit and take a long trip. With the look and heft of a guide to someplace you might actually go, the book presents Mars as a place of canyons and volcanoes, mesas, and barren plains, not that dissimilar from parts of Earth. Author William K. Hartmann, who participated in the Mars Global Surveyor mission, uses all the photos and data collected by scientists in decades of research to give a thorough, yet not boring, overview of the planet. The most exciting stuff is about water--whether it ever flowed on Mars, where it went, why it's hard to find. Beyond that, there are the rocks, dust, and weather to talk about, and Mars has lots of all three. Sidebars, maps, and chronologies help keep the regions and geology of Mars organized. Hartmann never forgets he's writing for the lay reader, and his style is personable and clear. When answering claims of NASA cover-ups, ancient civilizations, and hidden structures on Mars, he calmly lays out the facts and pictures, urging readers to simply examine the evidence. Hartmann offers a tourist's-eye view of one of our most intriguing planetary neighbors and does more to polish NASA's tarnished image than a thousand press releases. --Therese Littleton

                                        In this extraordinary Baedeker—accessible, up-to-date, and prodigiously illustrated with photographs from Mariner 9, Viking, Pathfinder, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the ongoing mars Global Surveyor spacecraft—visitors will encounter:
                                        Plus: the "face" on Mars, the White Rock, the "Canals" of Xanthe—and the first possible evidence of an ancient Martian life-form.

                                        3 out of 5 stars Nice pictures.......2007-08-31

                                        In this book, we see Mars treated almost as if it was a tourist region. The author has divided Mars into areas of interest. He then discussed separately each area. Just like Earth, Mars has many different regions and scenery.

                                        Although I am keen on space, somehow this book did little for me. After awhile I found it too much and lost interest in the details of each region. What I would have preferred on Mars is fewer notes and more pictures.

                                        The other point is the book is full of interesting pictures unfortunately to appreciate them you need a large size book then this one.

                                        Having said that if your interested in Mars geography though you will find this author knows his information, it is current and he explains his points well.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A fascinating look at the Red Planet.......2006-12-11

                                        A Traveler's Guide to Mars is well written and quite fascinating for anyone with an interest in the planetary geology of Mars.

                                        Hartmann breaks down the history of Mars into three geologic eras (Noachian, Hesperain, and Amazonian) based on the amount of cratering on the Martian surface. From there, he explores each one of these regions in detail.

                                        From the majestic Mons Olympus volcano and 2500 mile long Valles Marineris Canyon to the probable glacial "melting mountains" of Promethei Terra and controversial ancient ocean shorelines of Vastitas Borealis , Hartmann provides the reader with a sweeping scope of Martian history, replete with stunning aerial photography and images, that is simply quite amazing. He even discusses the "microbial fossil" Martian meteorites as well as the notorious "Face on Mars" in the Cydonia highlands.

                                        Take a trip to Mars ... you won't be disappointed

                                        This is a really cool book! I didn't know we had the so-called red planet (a better name is the butterscotch planet) mapped out to the extent that we do. I've always loved geography and to take a tour of the features of another world is thrilling. If you like astronomy, geography, or have an optimist's bent on human destiny being among the stars, read this great book!

                                        5 out of 5 stars Very informative.......2005-11-04

                                        Have you ever wanted to go beyond the headlines concerning discoveries about Mars and get a thorough overview so that you can put things into perspective? This book is more than a collection of pretty pictures from a far away place. It gives a good introductory account of what we think we know about the planet, and why.

                                        William Hartmann has been involved in uncovering knowledge about objects in the Solar system since the time that mankind first developed the ability to go beyond the Earth's atmosphere for an unobstructed view. He is in an authoritative position for attaching meaning to the images, and yet the explanations he gives are very much 'down to Earth', so to speak.

                                        Data from space probes (starting with the Mariner series) have literally redrawn the map of the surface of Mars. The time varying dark regions were found to be not seas, or canals, or vegetation, but rather wind blown sand. New names were needed in 1972 to identify actual terrain features. The contrast between old and new can be see by comparing the two foldout maps inside the front cover.

                                        Does Mars have a global magnetic field? No. But it used to! Metal particles in rocks older than 3,000,000 years ago are polarized. Particles in younger rocks are not polarized. The core of Mars was likely molten for the first 1,500,00 years and then cooled. Lack of a magnetic field has resulted in more Solar radiation reaching the surface, and may have played a role in carrying away the atmosphere.

                                        Is there life on Mars? Was there life on Mars? That's still an open question. It's clear that there is evidence of large quantities of liquid water on the planet in its early years. That at least opens the possibility that Mars harbored life at that time. What we are finding today is that life survives in very hostile environments here on Earth, and microbes survived on a Moon probe visited years later by an Apollo crew, so who can say at this point?

                                        Of all the places in the Solar system besides Earth, Mars is the one which has the most resources that would support manned exploration and colonization. There is still water on Mars, although in frozen form. The atmosphere contains CO2, from which oxygen can be extracted for propellant and for breathing. The presence of an atmosphere itself if of interest for aerobraking and radiation shielding. The fact of a day/night cycle very close to 24 hours is conducive to agriculture.

                                        Robert Zubrin and others have been advocating for years that travel to Mars is worthwhile and affordable, and NASA now has a congressionally supported presidential mandate to proceed in that direction. The concept that one day a reader of William Hartmann's Traveler's Guide will in fact make the trip is no longer so far fetched.

                                        This is a good read for anyone interested in Mars as a destination, or who would just like to know a bit more about that pink speck in the night sky. It also provides food for thought concerning climate change on our own planet. We didn't destroy the atmosphere on Mars, but maybe we can learn how to avoid Mars' fate here on Earth.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A great book and a wonderful resource.......2005-04-04

                                        This fascinating book is the work of scientist, author and artist, William K. Hartmann. What this item is, really, is a travelogue about the planet Mars! Going interesting location by interesting location, the book takes the reader across the face of Mars, and through Martian history. Along the way, the reader is treated to *many* colorful pictures and maps.

                                        This is a great book, probably the best one that I have seen on the planet Mars! I loved the way that the book is organized; somehow the author succeeds in taking his narrative location by location, and yet having it form a coherent and very informative explanation of what Mars is like now, and how it came to be that way. Also, the fact that it was published in 2003 means that it is entirely up-to-date, with information gathered by the Viking probes, the Hubble space telescope, and the Mars Global Surveyor.

                                        Overall, I found this to be a great book and a wonderful resource. If you are interested in the planet Mars, then you really must get this book! I give it my highest recommendations.
