Can a renowned mathematician successfully outwit the stock market? Not when his biggest investment is WorldCom.In A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market , best-selling author John Allen Paulos employs his trademark stories, vignettes, paradoxes, and puzzles to address every thinking reader's curiosity about the market--Is it efficient? Is it random? Is there anything to technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and other supposedly time-tested methods of picking stocks? How can one quantify risk? What are the most common scams? Are there any approaches to investing that truly outperform the major indexes?But Paulos's tour through the irrational exuberance of market mathematics doesn't end there. An unrequited (and financially disastrous) love affair with WorldCom leads Paulos to question some cherished ideas of personal finance. He explains why "data mining" is a self-fulfilling belief, why "momentum investing" is nothing more than herd behavior with a lot of mathematical jargon added, why the ever-popular Elliot Wave Theory cannot be correct, and why you should take Warren Buffet's "fundamental analysis" with a grain of salt.Like Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street , this clever and illuminating book is for anyone, investor or not, who follows the markets--or knows someone who does.

J.Allens Treasury Machine Knit Stit

David&Charles

Designed as a complete guide for today's machine knitter, this book presents an array of stitches covering the structures of tuck stitch, lace, weaving, jacquards, cut float techniques, partial knitting, needle out effects, and edgings and braidings. The stitch patterns are designed to fit any standard 24 needle repeat, and the book contains alternative ideas for interpretation, and encourages the development of new ideas for exploiting the colour and texture of materials.

Written by the prominent consulting firm, Total Systems Development, Inc. (TSD), Lean Manufacturing: A Plant Floor Guide is a complete inventory of the elements needed for successful implementation. It provides an overview and a specific rationale for your initiative. It is an easy-to-digest reference to aspects of lean that you may not have known about. It's a virtual toolbox of information that can be readily put to use on the plant floor. 
Internationally renowned editors John Allen, Charles Robinson, and David Stewart take readers on a comprehensive, 'street-level' journey through lean implementation, from the seven wastes and flow processes to developing a business case, using lean tools, and applying readers' newfound knowledge at greenfield and brownfield sites. Specific chapters on mapping the value stream, policy deployment, the five-phase implementation process, and problem-solving crystallize concepts with a pragmatic treatment. In addition, the brownfield implementation chapter is a must.
