Elegant, perceptive, and startlingly prophetic, "Nehru: A Contemporary's Estimate" is one of the finest accounts of Nehru ever written. Walter Crocker, the Australian high commissioner to India, admired Nehru the man - his grace, style, intelligence and energy - and was deeply critical of many of his political decisions - the invasion of Goa, India's Kashmir policy, the Five Year Plans. This book, written shortly after Nehru's death, is full of invaluable first hand observations about the man and his politics. Much of Crocker's points, too - especially the implications of the Five Year Plans and of the introduction of democracy to India - are particularly relevant today. Out of print for many years, this classic biography has been reissued with a new foreword by Ram Guha.

Because estimation involves inferring information about an unknown quantity on the basis of available data, the selection of an estimator is influenced by its ability to perform well under the conditions that are assumed to underlie the data. Since these conditions are never known exactly, the estimators chosen must be robust; i.e., they must be able to perform well under a variety of underlying conditions. The theory of robust estimation is based on specified properties of specified estimators under specified conditions. This book was written as the result of a study undertaken to establish the interaction of these three components over as large a range as possible.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The New Consecration Sunday  Estimate of Giving Cards allow your congregation to making their stewardship commitment for the coming year.   The New Consecration Sunday Stewardship Program approaches financing the ministries of your congregation by teaching stewardship from a spiritual perspective rather than a fundraising perspective. It focuses on the question, "What is God calling me to do?" rather than, "What does the church need in order to pay its bills?" Thousands of congregations have experienced 15% to 30% increases in giving with this program in the first year, plus additional increases in subsequent years of use. You will need one copy each of the Stewardship Program with Guest Leader Guide & CD-ROM (9780687644377) for your pastor, stewardship team leader, and guest leader.  Each remaining stewardship team member should have a Stewardship Program Team Member Manual  (9780687064069).
