Professor Ito is one of the most distinguished probability theorists in the world, and in this modern, concise introduction to the subject he explains basic probabilistic concepts rigorously and yet gives at the same time an intuitive understanding of random phenomena. In the first chapter he considers finite situations, but from an advanced standpoint that enables the transiti...(展开全部)

[英] 乔纳森·沃尔夫（Jonathan Wolff） 牛津大学政府学院公共政策教授，曾任伦敦大学学院哲学系教授、人文与艺术学院院长。身为哲学家，他一向关注平等、弱势群体和社会正义等问题，近年来则更多关注公共安全、身心障碍人士、博彩业、消遣性药物管控等实际议题。他的著作包括《罗伯特•诺齐克》《21世纪，重读马克思》《伦理与公共政策：哲学探讨》《健康人权》等。 在学术研究之外，沃尔夫还是纳菲尔德生命伦理学委员会、医学学会药物未来工作组等组织的成员，在《卫报》上也有关于高等教育的每月专栏。他绝非书斋里的哲学家，他的哲学思考受现实关怀的驱动，也试图理解并改变现实。

Social theory is a crucial resource for the social sciences. It provides rich insights into how human beings think and act and how contemporary social life is constructed. But often the key ideas of social theorists are expressed in highly technical and difficult language that can hide more than it reveals. The new edition of this popular book continues to cut to the core of wh...(展开全部)
