Turning Numbers Into Knowledge, Second Edition

[Michael Maniates]

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.)
