Through episodes rendered from shifting, multiple points of view, a series of flashbacks, an...

A practical guide to analysing partially observed data.Collecting, analysing and drawing inferences from data is central to research in the medical and social sciences. Unfortunately, it is rarely possible to collect all the intended data. The literature on inference from the resulting incomplete data is now huge, and continues to grow both as methods are developed for large and complex data structures, and as increasing computer power and suitable software enable ...

The small, mostly forgotten wars of the 1850s in the American Pacific Northwest were part of a broader genocidal war—the War on Illahee—to seize Native land for Euro‑Americans. Illahee (a term for "homeland" in Chinook) was turned into the states of Oregon and Washington through the violence of invading soldiers, settlers, and serial killers. Clashes over the brutality of invasion—should it be celebrated, isolated, or erased?—left behind accidental archives of atrocity, as history writers ...

The West, especially the Intermountain states, ranks among the whitest places in America, but this fact obscures the more complicated history of racial diversity in the region. In Making the White Man’s West, author Jason E. Pierce argues that since the time of the Louisiana Purchase, the American West has been a racially contested space. Using a nuanced theory of historical “whiteness,” he examines why and how Anglo-Americans dominated the region for a 120-year period.In ...

The book is a defense of the flat earth theory, which asserts that the earth is not a globe but rather a flat disk.Rowbotham's book presents a range of arguments and evidence in support of the flat earth theory. He argues that the curvature of the earth cannot be observed, and that the earth appears to be flat when viewed from a distance. He also contends that the existence of gravity can be explained without invoking the concept of a spherical earth.The book was written during a time when...
