This book provides an interpretative introduction to the political thought of Karl Marx. The approach is both historical and analytical, with emphasis placed on developments and changes in Marx’s thought. The book is firmly based on a close reading of primary sources including recently discovered documents on the Communist League, the drafts of Marx’s Civil War in France and the Grundrisse manuscripts. Available on its own, or as part of the 9-volume reissue of the classic Political Thinkers series.

Unlike the myriad writing manuals that emphasize grammar, sentence structure, and other skills necessary for entry-level editing jobs, this engaging book adopts a broader view, beginning with the larger topics of audience, mission, and tone, and working its way down, layer by layer, to the smaller questions of grammar and punctuation. Based on Michael Robert Evans’s years of experience as an editor and supplemented with invaluable observations from the editors of more than sixty other magazines, including The Atlantic, Better Homes and Gardens, Ebony, Esquire, and National Geographic, th

This book is designed to introduce graduate students and researchers to the primary methods useful for approximating integrals. The emphasis is on those methods that have been found to be of practical use, focusing on approximating higher- dimensional integrals with coverage of the lower-dimensional case as well. Included in the book are asymptotic techniques, multiple quadrature and quasi-random techniques and a complete development of Monte Carlo algorithms. For the Monte Carlo section important sampling methods, variance reduction techniques and the primary Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorit
