Dear Colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting to the NEES and
gep-ed lists):
I write to alert you to the April 28th release of the second edition
of Turning Numbers Into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem
Solving by Jon Koomey, who holds appointments at the Lawrence
Berkeley Lab and Stanford University. I've found the book to be
exceedingly useful in my work with undergraduates in political
science and environmental science. Koomey's book has been
well-received by natural- and social-scientists, but it's often
overlooked because it comes from a small press. I commend it to you
and invite you to sample portions of the book online:
Overview: www.analyticspress.com (If you're interested in a copy,
though, best to order the paperback at Amazon.com, with the pre-order
discount they offer.)
Frontmatter: http://www.analyticspress.com/keydata/FrontmatterTNIK2ded.pdf
Three sample chapters:
