In dit fascinerende en prachtig geïllustreerde boek legt de wereldvermaarde paleontoloog Michael Benton uit hoe dinosauriërs zich gedroegen. Hij bespreekt de evolutie, het gedrag, de fysiologie en het uitsterven van dinosaurussen. Omdat de forensische technologie zich snel ontwikkelt, krijgen paleontologen steeds meer inzicht in het dagelijks leven van dinosaurussen. Dit boek legt op toegankelijke wijze uit wat de wetenschappers hebben gevonden. De prachtige, speciaal gemaakte illustraties,...

Unlike most probability textbooks, which are only truly accessible to mathematically-oriented students, Ward and Gundlach’s Introduction to Probability reaches out to a much wider introductory-level audience. Its conversational style, highly visual approach, practical examples, and step-by-step problem solving procedures help all kinds of students understand the basics of probability theory and its broad applications. The book was extensively class-tested through its preliminary edition, ...

‘Verbluffende, mooie paleokunst. Nu zien we hoe de dinosauriërs er echt uitzagen.’ — CNN

‘Benton neemt je mee terug naar de dinotijd ... in full colour, aan de hand van het nieuwste onderzoek.’

— Anne Schulp, hoogleraar vertebratenpaleontologie aan de Universiteit Utrecht en onderzoeker bij Naturalis in Leiden

Hoe zagen dinosauriërs er echt uit? Daarover is de afgelopen jaren veel duidelijk geworden. Nieuwe wetenschappelijke technieken maken het mogelijk de huid, de schubben,...

Dan Larose’s Discovering Statistics strikes the ideal balance of conceptual application and computational understanding to develop students’ statistical sense and enable them to discover the statistician within.

Holt's Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition, blends computational and conceptual topics throughout to prepare students for the rigors of conceptual thinking in an abstract setting. The early treatment of conceptual topics in the context of Euclidean space gives students more time, and a familiar setting, in which to absorb them. This organization also makes it possible to treat eigenvalues and eigenvectors earlier than in most texts. Abstract vector spaces are introduced later, on...

In Houtstromen ontrafelt Paul Borghaerts de herkomst van hout, dat gebruikt werd in Noord-Nederland gedurende de periode van 1600 tot 1950 om boerderijen te bouwen. De auteur ontdekte dat de herkomst van het hout in de loop van de jaren steeds verschoof, waardoor er negen belangrijke herkomstgebieden en perioden zijn aan te wijzen. De nieuwe inzichten verklaren onder meer de veranderingen in de landbouw en de grote invloed op de economische groei in heel Nederland. Voor zijn unieke onderzoek ...

An arresting insight into the origins and material culture of Arctic peoples, whose lifestyle is now threatened by climate change.

This book builds theoretical statistics from the first principles of probability theory. Starting from the basics of probability, the authors develop the theory of statistical inference using techniques, definitions, and concepts that are statistical and are natural extensions and consequences of previous concepts. Intended for first-year graduate students, this book can be used for students majoring in statistics who have a solid mathematics background.

It can also be used in a way that stre...
