Only in the past two decades, after millennia of speculation, have astronomers begun to discover planets around other stars--thousands in fact. Now they are closer than ever to unraveling distant twins of the Earth. In this book, Jayawardhana vividly recounts the stories of the scientists and the remarkable breakthroughs that have ushered in this extraordinary age of exploration. He describes the latest findings--including his own--that are challenging our view of the cosmos and casting new light on the origins and evolution of planets and planetary systems. He reveals how technology is rapidly advancing to support direct observations of Jupiter-like gas giants and super-Earths--rocky planets with several times the mass of our own planet--and how astronomers use biomarkers to seek possible life on other worlds. Strange New Worlds provides an insider's look at the cutting-edge science of today's planet hunters, our prospects for discovering alien life, and the debates and controversies at the forefront of extrasolar-planet research. In a new afterword, Jayawardhana explains some of the most recent developments as we search for the first clues of life on other planets. 606 $aExtrasolar planets 607 $aSolar system 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExtrasolar planets. 676 $a576.839 700 $aJayawardhana$b Ray$01055418 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463227603321 996 $aStrange new worlds$92488791 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03643oam 2200649I 450 001 9910460964203321 005 20210430004937.0 010 $a0-429-97191-5 010 $a1-283-27657-7 010 $a9786613276575 010 $a0-8133-4628-2 024 7 $a10.4324/9780429503368 035 $a(CKB)2670000000108156 035 $a(EBL)746870 035 $a(OCoLC)746747168 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000542223 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11351469 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000542223 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10510030 035 $a(PQKB)10507553 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC746870 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL746870 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10491526 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL327657 035 $a(OCoLC)1029247386 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000108156 100 $a20180706d2018 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aUnderstanding Multivariate Research $eA Primer For Beginning Social Scientists /$fWilliam Berry (Florida State University), Mitchell S.

William Berry and Mitchell Sanders's Understanding Multivariate Research fills this gap with a concise introduction to regression analysis and other multivariate techniques. Their book is designed to give new graduate students a grasp of multivariate analysis sufficient to understand the basic elements of research relying on such analysis that they must read prior to their formal training in quantitative methods. Berry and Sanders effectively cover the techniques seen most commonly in social science journals--regression (including nonlinear and interactive models), logit, probit, and causal models/path analysis. The authors draw on illustrations from across the social sciences, including political science, sociology, marketing and higher education. All topics are developed without relying on the mathematical language of probability theory and statistical inference. Readers are assumed to have no background in descriptive or inferential statistics, and this makes the book highly accessible to students with no prior graduate course work."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aSocial sciences$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aMultivariate analysis 606 $aRegression analysis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aMultivariate analysis. 615 0$aRegression analysis. 676 $a300/.7/2 700 $aBerry$b William$0107003 702 $aSanders$b Mitchell S. 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460964203321 996 $aUnderstanding Multivariate Research$91895441 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01371nam0 22003131i 450 001 UON00163456 005 20231205103021.128 010 $a01-992415-4-6 100 $a20021002d2001 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aTestimonia and Fragments$fAristocles of Messene$gedited with translation and commentary by Maria Lorenza Chiesara 205 $aOxford : Oxford University Press$b2001 210 $axlii$d218 p. ; 22 cm 215 $aSulla sovracop. il tit. é$cTestimonies and fragments 410 1$1001UON00087225$12001 $aOxford Classical Monographs$fFaculty of Literae Humaniores in the University of Oxford$1210 $aOxford$cClarendon Press. 606 $aFILOSOFIA GRECA$xTesti$3UONC033419$2FI 620 $aGB$dOxford$3UONL000029 676 $a183$cFILOSOFIA GRECA$v21 700 0$aARISTOCLES : Messenius$cfilosofo$3UONV095838$0674483 702 1$aCHIESARA$bMaria Lorenza$3UONV095839 712 $aOxford University Press$3UONV245947$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240220$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00163456 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI T 1 ARISTOCL MESS 0100 $eSI MC 25976 5 0100 996 $aTestimonia and Fragments$91284054 997 $aUNIOR
