The EXPECTATION GAP is the gap that is created between one’s expectation and its fulfillment. When your expectations are realized, you are happier; when they are not, you are unhappy. This book will help you evaluate your expectations, determine how real those expectations are, and show you how to realize them and achieve happiness. Chapters are followed with a work-sheet to guide you personally to happy resolutions of your expectations. Numerous articles and books talk about happiness, but this book defines happiness and identifies the role of expectations in happiness. When you underst

This book has exerted a continuing appeal since publication of its original edition in 1970. It develops the theory of probability from axioms on the expectation functional rather than on probability measure, demonstrates that the standard theory unrolls more naturally and economically this way, and demonstrates that applications of real interest can be addressed almost immediately. Early analysts of games of chance found the question "What is the fair price for entering this game?" quite as natural as "What is the probability of winning it?" Modern probability virtually adopts the former view

This classic text, now in its third edition, has been widely used as an introduction to probability. Its main aim is to present a straightforward introduction to the main concepts and applications of probability at an undergraduate level. Historically, the early analysts of games of chance found the question ’What is the fair price for entering this game?’ as natural a question as ’What is the probability of winning it?’. This book differs from many textbooks in that the author takes as the starting point for the subject’s development expectation rather than the t

From movie making to medical misadventures, meditations on widowhood to feminist protestations, Expectation Days is a dazzling portrayal of instances in Sandra McPherson’s life. Her autobiographical collection uses peculiar and exact language to reflect on a wide range of activities that include grouse hunting, going through airport security after 9/11, and climbing a coastal cliff. From being an unintended child to ceremonializing a lifetime “served,” McPherson speaks in both clear and distressing voices from the state of speechless fear that is bereavement.        Will the little

Winner, 2007 Wallace Berry Award presented by the Society for Music Theory. The psychological theory of expectation that David Huron proposes in Sweet Anticipation grew out of the author’s experimental efforts to understand how music evokes emotions. These efforts evolved into a general theory of expectation that will prove informative to readers interested in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology as well as those interested in music. The book describes a set of psychological mechanisms and illustrates how these mechanisms work in the case of music. All examples of notated mus

The essays in this book challenge prevailing views on the way in which apocalyptic concerns contributed to larger processes of social change at the first millennium. Several basic questions unify the essays: What chronological and theological assumptions underlay apocalyptic and millennial speculations around the Year 1000? How broadly disseminated were those speculations? Can we speak of a mentality of apocalyptic hopes and anxieties on the eve of the millennium? If so, how did authorities respond to or even contribute to the formation of this mentality? What were the social ramifications of
