Dr. Robert "Bob" Gardner has edited one book which is coauthored with Naill Shanks of the ETSU Department of Philosophy. It is entitled Logic, Probability and Science and contains the proceedings of the 1996 meeting of the Society of Exact Philosphy which was held at East Tennessee State University. The book appears as Volume 71 of the Poznan Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences and Humanities. The ISBN number is 90-420-1253-6 and the ISSN number is 0303-8157. It is published by Rodopi, Amsterdam-Atlanta, from which a copy may be ordered ($55.00 US):
Quoting from the introduction: "The essays gathered in this volume explore philosophical issues in logic, probability theory and the natural sciences. Though the volume explores diverse problems in several different fields of inquiry, a common thread running through the essays is that philosophical insight is brought about through the application of rigorous analytical methods to problems of interest. The essays printed here belong firmly in the broad tradition of analytic philosophy. The conceptual virtues they celebrate are exactitude and clarity." The table of contents is:
Dr. Robert Gardner, along with Dr. Don Hong (now of MTSU), and Jianzhong Wang, have coauthored Real Analysis with an Introduction to Wavelets and Applications. The ISBN number is 0123548616. The book is published by Academic Press, from which a copy may be ordered ($95).
Dr. Anant Godbole has edited one book with Stavros G. Papastavridis. It is entitled Runs and Patterns in Probability : Selected Papers and appears as Volume 283 of the Mathematics and Its Applications series of Kluwer Academic Publishers. The ISBN number is 0792328345. It is published by Kluwer Academic Publishers, from which a copy may be ordered ($223.00 US):
Quoting from the back cover: "The probabilisitic analysis of patterns and
runs plays a critical role in fields as diverse as reliability, molecular
biology, distribution theory and statistcs. The papers in this volume have
been written by a collection of research workers who are experts in these
(and other) fields. The probabilistic methods employed by them include the
Stein-Chen technique of Poisson approximation, `generating functionology',
Markov chain techniques, the `independence principle', combinatorial
probability, exchangeability, and hypergeometric evaluations... [This
volume] will be of interest to graduate students and research workers in
applied probability, reliability theory, combinatorics and statistics.
Most of the papers in the volume are expository in nature and can be used
as an introduction to a dynamic and growing area of research."

Dr. Teresa Haynes has coauthored one book with Stephen Hedetniemi, and Peter Slater. It is entitled Fundamentals of Domination in Graphs. The ISBN number is 0824700333. It is published by Marcel-Dekker, from which a copy may be ordered ($175.00 US):
Quoting from the promelgomenon: "This book concerns dominating sets and other related subsets in graphs. Our goal is to present a self-contained, comprehensive treatment of this subject - an area of graph theory that is rich in history, applications, interesting questions and results, and unsolved research questions."
