Pathways to Astronomy (Fifth Edition)
by Stephen E. Schneider Thomas T. ArnyCreated by two veteran teachers of astronomy, both recipients of outstanding teaching awards, Pathways breaks down introductory astronomy into its component parts. The huge and fascinating field of astronomy is divided into 86 Units from which you can selectively choose topics according to your interests, while maintaining a natural flow of presentation. One of the frustrations created by other current astronomy textbooks is that each chapter covers such a wide array of topics that it is difficult for students to absorb the large amount of material, and the texts are wed to such a specific order of presentation that it is difficult for the professor to link the chapter readings and review questions to his or her own particular approach to teaching the subject. Whether you are learning astronomy for the first time or teaching it for the tenth, Pathways offers greater flexibility for exploring astronomy in the way you want to.

The Unit structure allows the new learner and the veteran professor to relate the text more clearly to college lectures. Each Unit is small enough to be easily tackled on its own or read as an adjunct to the classroom lecture. For the faculty member who is designing a course to relate to current events in astronomy or a particular theme, the structure of Pathways makes it easier to assign reading and worked problems that are relevant to each topic. For the student of astronomy, Pathways makes it easier to digest each topic and to clearly relate each Unit to lecture material.</p>

Pattern Recognition And Machine Learning (Information Science And Statistics)
by Christopher M. BishopThis is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply graphical models to machine learning. No previous knowledge of pattern recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. Familiarity with multivariate calculus and basic linear algebra is required, and some experience in the use of probabilities would be helpful though not essential as the book includes a self-contained introduction to basic probability theory.

Patterns of East Asian History
by Charles A. DesnoyersCovering all of East Asian history from the Neolithic to the present--including Mongolia and Vietnam, alongside China, Japan, and Korea--Patterns of East Asian History uses recognizable and widely-accepted patterns of historical development as a framework around which to structure the material. This approach serves as both an organizational aid to instructors and as a tool to make complex material more comprehensible to students. <p><p>The result is enhanced pedagogical flexibility. This subtly recursive format allows abundant opportunities for contrast and comparison among and within the societies under consideration. The overall aim is to simplify the immense complexities of history for beginning students without making them simplistic. Featuring nearly sixty maps and 200 photos, Patterns of East Asian History provides a rich visual history that complements its engaging narrative.
