In a succinct and far-reaching analysis, David Held provides an introduction to major theories of democracy from classical Greece to the present, along with a critical discussion of what democracy should mean today.  This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to take into account significant transformations in world politics.  A new chapter on deliberative democracy has been added, which focuses on how citizen participation can be increased in politics, and how that participation can become more informed.   Like its predecessor, the third edition of Models of Democracy combines lucid exposition and clarity of expression with careful scholarship and originality, making it highly attractive to students and experts in the field.  The third edition will prove essential reading for all those interested in politics, political theory, and political philosophy. Praise for the second edition: "Held's new book on models of democracy is itself a model of its kind―a meticulously edited, easily accessible, and clearly signposted critical analysis of theories of democracy from classical antiquity to the present day."―Ethics "In this timely and thought-provoking study, Held provides a critical reassessment of major theories of democracy from ancient Greece to the present, along with his own prescription for revitalizing contemporary democratic politics. . . . This volume should be read and pondered by anyone interested in the future of democracy."―The Annals

Die Autorin analysiert die moderne italienische Sprache, um die wirksamsten manipulativen sprachlichen Strategien aufzuzeigen. Sie erfasst sowohl theoretische Grundlagen, wie z.B. was Manipulation ist oder wie man mit einem einzigen Wort manipulieren kann, als auch Sprachwandeltheorien und die bekanntesten mani-pulativen Techniken, die bereits in der Sprache etabliert sind. Sie überprüft, ob es Parallelen zur deutschen und zu anderen Sprachen gibt, welche der manipulativen Mittel am erfolgreichsten sind und wie diese einzusetzen sind, um eine Person wirksam zu manipulieren. Der praktische Ansatz ermöglicht, einzelne sprachliche Mittel zu analysieren und miteinander zu vergleichen, sodass diese selbstständig oder in Kombination verwendet werden können.

This richly illustrated textbook covers modern statistical methods with applications in medicine, epidemiology and biology. Firstly, it discusses the importance of statistical models in applied quantitative research and the central role of the likelihood function, describing likelihood-based inference from a frequentist viewpoint, and exploring the properties of the maximum likelihood estimate, the score function, the likelihood ratio and the Wald statistic. In the second part of the book, likelihood is combined with prior information to perform Bayesian inference. Topics include Bayesian updating, conjugate and reference priors, Bayesian point and interval estimates, Bayesian asymptotics and empirical Bayes methods. It includes a separate chapter on modern numerical techniques for Bayesian inference, and also addresses advanced topics, such as model choice and prediction from frequentist and Bayesian perspectives. This revised edition of the book "Applied Statistical Inference" has been expanded to include new material on&nbsp;Markov models for time series analysis. It also features a comprehensive appendix covering the prerequisites in probability theory, matrix algebra, mathematical calculus, and numerical analysis, and each chapter is complemented by exercises.&nbsp;The text is primarily intended for graduate statistics and biostatistics students with an interest in applications.
