'A great novel of New York'- Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs To YouThe new novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of High DiveThe 'Father of Greater New York' is dead. Shot outside his Park Avenue mansion in the year of our Lord, 1903. In the hour of his death, will the truth of his life finally break free?Born to a struggling farming family in 1820, Andrew Haswell Green was a self-made man who reshaped Manhattan, built Central Park and turned New York into a modern metropolis. Now, at eighty-three, when he thought the world could hold no more surprises, he is murdered. As the detective assigned to the case traces his ghost across the city, other spectres appear: a wealthy courtesan; a broken-hearted man in a bowler hat; and an ambitious politician, Samuel, whose lifelong friendship was a source of joy and frustration.In a life of industry and restraint, where is the space for love? As restlessly inventive and absorbing as its protagonist, The Great Mistake is the story of a city, and a singular man, transformed by longing.'Jonathan Lee has taken the bare facts of a nearly forgotten life and turned them into a rich and unforgettable story'- Jon McGregor, author of Reservoir 13'A meditation on the meaning of success, and a magical escape from the twenty-first century that sent me back feeling wiser and more hopeful'- Sandra Newman, author of The Heavens'A wonder and a delight'- Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife

Die Welt besteht aus Fehlern und Flickversuchen. Und manchmal aus seltsamen Missverständnissen. Andrew Green ist tot. Erschossen am helllichten Tag, an einem Freitag, den 13. Spekulationen schießen ins Kraut. Verdankt New York dem einstigen Außenseiter doch unter anderem den Central Park und die New York Public Library. Inspector McClusky nimmt die Ermittlungen auf. Was wussten die übereifrige Haushälterin, der Präsidentschaftskandidat Tilden und die brillante Bessie Davis, der halb New York zu Füßen liegt?

Joy Stephens'' Leben lässt wenig zu wünschen übrig: Mit Mitte dreißig steht sie kurz vor der Ernennung zur Partnerin in ihrer Londoner Anwaltskanzlei, sie ist der Inbegriff einer erfolgreichen, attraktiven Karrierefrau und führt eine offene, aber verlässliche Ehe. Trotzdem bereitet Joy ihren Abgang bei Hanger, Slyde & Stein vor – bis sie bei ihrer Dankesrede vor aller Augen zehn Meter in die Tiefe stürzt. Hat ihr Anwaltskollege und Ex-Lover Peter etwas damit zu tun? Oder übt dieser funkelnde Glaspalast inmitten der flirrenden Lichter Londons einen ganz eigenen Abwärtssog aus?

It is not an exaggeration to view Professor Lee's book," Software Engineer­ ing with Computational Intelligence," or SECI for short, as a pioneering contribution to software engineering. Breaking with the tradition of treat­ ing uncertainty, imprecision, fuzziness and vagueness as issues of peripheral importance, SECI moves them much closer to the center of the stage. It is ob­ vious, though still not widely accepted, that this is where these issues should be, since the real world is much too complex and much too ill-defined to lend itself to categorical analysis in the Cartesian spirit. As its title suggests, SECI employs the machineries of computational intel­ ligence (CI) and, more or less equivalently, soft computing (SC), to deal with the foundations and principal issues in software engineering. Basically, CI and SC are consortia of methodologies which collectively provide a body of con­ cepts and techniques for conception, design, construction and utilization of intelligent systems. The principal constituents of CI and SC are fuzzy logic, neurocomputing, evolutionary computing, probabilistic computing, chaotic computing and machine learning. The leitmotif of CI and SC is that, in general, better performance can be achieved by employing the constituent methodologies of CI and SC in combination rat her than in a stand-alone mode. In what follows, I will take the liberty of focusing my attention on fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory, and on their roles in software engineering. But first, a couple of points of semantics which are in need of clarification.
