Yale to publish revised and updated edition of Tarek Osman's acclaimed 'Egypt on the Brink'
Monday, 15 August 2011
Back in November 2010 Yale published the aptly-titled Egypt on the Brink by Tarek Osman, a lively account of Egypt, its recent history and the increasingly febrile political situation. Within months, the Egyptian people had risen in protest against the regime and President Mubarak was forced to resign. Now he stands trial. In a fully-revised and updated edition of Egypt on the Brink, Osman continues the extraordinary story of the February 2011 protests, and discusses their implications for Egypt and the rest of the world.

The Theory That Would Not Die: Yale publish new book on Bayes’ Theorem

Earlier this month Yale University Press published The Theory That Would Not Die: How Bayes' Rule Cracked the Enigma Code, Hunted Down Russian Submarines, and Emerged Triumphant from Two Centuries of Controversy, a book that traces the history of this influential and controversial formula.
