Medieval Worlds: An Introduction To European History, 300-1492
by Richard Gerberding Jo Ann Hoeppner Moran CruzThis text is for undergraduate university and college students. The authors endeavored to present an expansive view of medieval society and a fluid view of the changes medieval society underwent from late antiquity into the Italian Renaissance. The text would integrate cultural and literary developments, intellectual contributions, literacy and education, the role of women, popular religious impulses, and papal perspectives, as well as the political history of kings and queens, emperors, counts, and communes. The authors have chosen not to directly discuss theoretical or methodological approaches to gender, race, class, post-colonialism or post-modernism. Rather, they have folded a sensitivity to these approaches into the narrative itself and into a rather inclusive treatment of topics. Women have been incorporated into the narrative at every level. Social groupings, ethnic identities, slavery, the interactions of Europeans with non-Europeans, as well as the conditions for minorities and for new groups entering Europe all find their appropriate place in the account. The authors have given a good deal of attention to Islam, both as a subject in itself and as an important influence on medieval Europe.

Meta-Analysis: Methods for Health and Experimental Studies (Statistics for Biology and Health)
by Shahjahan KhanThis book focuses on performing hands-on meta-analysis using MetaXL, a free add-on to MS Excel. The illustrative examples are taken mainly from medical and health sciences studies, but the generic methods can be used to perform meta-analysis on data from any other discipline. The book adopts a step-by-step approach to perform meta-analyses and interpret the results. Stata codes for meta-analyses are also provided. All popularly used meta-analytic methods and models – such as the fixed effect model, random effects model, inverse variance heterogeneity model, and quality effect model – are used to find the confidence interval for the effect size measure of independent primary studies and the pooled study. In addition to the commonly used meta-analytic methods for various effect size measures, the book includes special topics such as meta-regression, dose-response meta-analysis, and publication bias. The main attraction for readers is the book’s simplicity and straightforwardness in conducting actual meta-analysis using MetaXL. Researchers would easily find everything on meta-analysis of any particular effect size in one specific chapter once they could determine the underlying effect measure. Readers will be able to see the results under different models and also will be able to select the correct model to obtain accurate results.
