In 1935, when a small company in Coventry, England, launched a sporting saloon (i.e., sedan) called the Jaguar SS, it set in motion an inexorable process that would lead to Britain’s most beloved line of high-performance automobiles. The Complete Book of Jaguar covers the SS and all of the Jaguar's subsequent production models, from the original SS Jaguar to today’s F-Type sports cars, F-Pace SUV, X-Type sedans, as well as concept cars. As with other books in the Complete Book Series, author Nigel Thorley organizes the content chronologically with entries for each year. Narratives for each discuss the cars and technology, while spec tables highlight key technical and performance specifications. Originally begun by a couple of motorcycle enthusiasts—William Lyons and William Walmsley—as a firm called the Swallow Sidecar Company, Jaguar would become one of the world's most celebrated automakers. In England’s bleak postwar years, Jaguar became a shining star—first with its XK120, followed by the XK140 and XK150. Sporting sedans like the Mark 2 and Mark X set the bar for luxury four-door transport in the '50s and '60s. Then Jaguar stunned the world with the achingly beautiful E-Type in 1961, a genuine 150 mph super sports car. Along the way, the company competed on road courses around the world, going head to head with greats like Ferrari and Aston Martin. Though Jaguar lost its way periodically in the modern era, it has bounded back stronger than ever in the twenty-first century with a strong lineup, including the new F-Type sports car and F-Pace SUV.The Complete Book of Jaguar is the essential guide to this important chapter in the history of sports and luxury automobiles.

Vår evne til å konsentrere oss er i fritt fall. Collegestudenter i USA har klarer nå i gjennomsnitt å holde fokus på én oppgave i 65 sekunder, og kontormedarbeidere kun i tre minutter. I Stjålet fokus legger den internasjonale bestselgerforfatteren Johann Hari ut på en langstrakt reise for å snakke med verdens ledende eksperter og finne ut hvorfor dette skjer med oss - og det han konkluderer med er at alt vi trodde vi visste om dette feltet er feil.Vi tror vår mangle evne til å konsentrere oss er våre egen personlige falitt - en skavank ved hver og en av oss. Det er det ikke. Dette har blitt gjort mot oss - av mektige eksterne krefter - og det har blitt gjort over tid. Vårt fokus har blitt stjålet fra oss.Hari oppdager at det finnes tolv dypereliggende årsaker til denne krisen, og han viser oss hvordan han oppdaget det gjennom en engasjerende reise - en ferd som tar ham fra Silicon Valley-avhoppere, til vegetarianere som diagnostiserer hunder med ADHD, fra en favela i Rio der alle har mistet konsentrasjonen på en spesielt surrealistisk måte, til et kontor på New Zealand som oppdaget en bemerkelsesverdig teknikk som ga deres ansatte konsentrasjonsevnen tilbake.For viktigst av alt er dette en bok som viser oss hvordan vi kan gjenvinne vårt fokus, dersom vi bestemmer oss for å kjempe for det. Svarene vil både overraske og engasjere deg. Dette er en bok om vår pågående oppmerksomhetskrise ulik noen annen du har lest.

The 5th edition of this popular introduction to statistics for the medical and health sciences has undergone a significant revision, with several new chapters added and examples refreshed throughout the book. Yet it retains its central philosophy to explain medical statistics with as little technical detail as possible, making it accessible to a wide audience.Helpful multi-choice exercises are included at the end of each chapter, with answers provided at the end of the book. Each analysis technique is carefully explained and the mathematics kept to minimum. Written in a style suitable for statisticians and clinicians alike, this edition features many real and original examples, taken from the authors' combined many years' experience of designing and analysing clinical trials and teaching statistics.Students of the health sciences, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and radiography should find the book useful, with examples relevant to their disciplines. The aim of training courses in medical statistics pertinent to these areas is not to turn the students into medical statisticians but rather to help them interpret the published scientific literature and appreciate how to design studies and analyse data arising from their own projects. However, the reader who is about to design their own study and collect, analyse and report on their own data will benefit from a clearly written book on the subject which provides practical guidance to such issues.The practical guidance provided by this book will be of use to professionals working in and/or managing clinical trials, in academic, public health, government and industry settings, particularly medical statisticians, clinicians, trial co-ordinators. Its practical approach will appeal to applied statisticians and biomedical researchers, in particular those in the biopharmaceutical industry, medical and public health organisations.

This book is the definitive approach to thematic analysis, offering a highly accessible and practical discussion of doing TA.
