This is a critical, learned edition of the General Report on Tunny with Emphasis on Statistical Methods (aka The Newmanry Report) prepared by I.J. Good (b.1916), Donald Michie (b.1923), and Geoffrey Timms (1903-1982) in 1945 and declassified in 2000.  The first two went on to have distinguished public careers, the third worked at GCHQ.  All three authors had been actively engaged in the work described in the Report.  

The Report was a technical account of what the team of cryptanalysts led by Max Newman did in their work at Bletchley Park during WWII and it was intended for the technical staff at successor institutions.  It was prepared on a typewriter and has been released as photostatic copies.  The editors of this critical editon, Whitfield Diffie, J.V. Field, and James A. Reed, have supervised its transcription into a carefully typeset edition that is both historically faithful to the original text and provides helpful footnotes, endnotes, essays, and glossaries that will assist the modern reader in interpreting the report.

This comprehensive textbook for the two-term course focuses students on not only the foundational concepts of astronomy but on the process of scientific discovery itself—how we know what we know about the cosmos. Engagingly written and filled helpful pedagogical tools, the book also excels at dispelling widely held misconceptions and helping students avoid common pitfalls as they explore the heavens.

Thoroughly updated, the new edition features the latest discoveries and new pedagogy, and is supported by an expanded media/supplements package centered on W. H. Freeman’s extraordinary new online course space, LaunchPad.

Stati Uniti. Un gruppo di amici e un'associazione che coltiva la discriminazione etnica, la superiorità razziale e la lotta a qualsiasi diversità come pilastri essenziali della propria dottrina. Questi gli elementi principali di questo romanzo dalle mille sfaccettature, a tratti crudo e duro, lontano dalla commiserazione e da inutili giri di parole, in cui il fanatismo estremo porta un padre a desiderare il male del proprio figlio omosessuale, fino ad agire in prima persona per l'annichilimento di tale inclinazione. Eppure "Riscatti" non è un romanzo che toglie spazio alla speranza, il medesimo sentimento che si approprierà dei protagonisti pagina dopo pagina, indirizzandoli verso un arrivo ben diverso dalla partenza, un traguardo in cui le idee cambiano, le vere virtù emergono, le malvagità e le perversioni sono finalmente allontanate, per pervenire così, in modi diversi, al proprio singolo riscatto.
