The need for precise, actionable, real-time Business Intelligence (BI) lies at the heart of the role of Big Data in modern commerce. In turn, the art of Data Science lies at the nexus of Big Data and BI, providing the essential methods by which BI can be extracted from Big Data's great black mass of constantly flowing, unstructured information. This combination has a created a new profession: an elite and specialized class of highly-compensated professionals specially skilled at data cleaning, analysis, and visualization.

Vital information clearly explained
Revisado: 05-18-16
Introducing Big Data and Data Science practices into the legacy enterprise is a complex and challenging task. Nielsen & co. provide solid explanations of just what the problems and pitfalls are, and how to avoid them. An extremely valuable "listen." (And the narration is excellent as well.)

Timeless and surprisingly current, The Art of the Theatre, published after her death at age 78, is the final and most in-depth record of the great actress' views on acting and the theatre. Here "The Divine Sarah" shares advice on everything from speech, movement, role preparation, vocal warmups, and make-up tips to why she preferred to play Hamlet instead of Ophelia.

A classic of theater literature, vividly rendered
Revisado: 06-23-15
As this book makes clear, Bernhardt had the highest of standards when it came to the art of acting. With this in mind, I think it is safe to say she'd be more than pleased with this audio edition rendered, as it is, so expertly by the very talented Kitty Hendrix. Excellent overall and highly recommended.

Simply put, Dark Data is stored, largely non-inventoried, unstructured data not currently used for the purpose of conducting data science, but which is nevertheless maintained on a "just in case" basis - either to meet regulatory requirements, or in the hope that the data will prove useful for research purposes at some time in the future.

In this candid first-person memoir, Huckleberry gives you an insider's view of his beleaguered campaign, such as it is: a hilarious clown car packed with an astonishing array of fear-mongering grotesques, xenophobic paranoids, closeted bigots, and rapacious, self-promoting Conservative pundits, all of them poised to commandeer America's future in the name of God and unrestrained capitalism (not necessarily in that order).

Revisado: 01-21-15
The rhetoric of the extreme American Right is so absurd, it is sometimes hard to tell where reality leaves off and this books brilliant satire begins. The story is great, the laughs are plentiful, and the performance is superb. Highly recommended.

To anyone interested in small-boat cruising and voyaging, the names Lin and Larry Pardey need no introduction. As world-girdling sailors who roamed the planet on a pair of small, engineless boats that they built themselves, the Pardeys established their hard-earned reputations by eloquently (and sometimes controversially) telling their stories through a series of best-selling books and manuals, and countless seminars and boat shows.

In a superb narrative, NY Times bestselling author Callahan chronicles the four-month (April - August 1989) struggle of Jim Nalepka and three other crew (Phil Hofman, John Glennie and Rick Hellriegel) to survive on their capsized trimaran adrift in the the stormy seas of the wintry South Pacific. For shelter, the four huddled together in a dank hull compartment 20 inches high and only as wide as a double-bed.

In June 1994, Alvah Simon and his wife, Diana, set off in their 36-foot sailboat to explore the hauntingly beautiful world of icebergs, tundra, and fjords lying high above the Arctic Circle. Four months later, unexpected events would trap Simon alone on his boat, frozen in ice 100 miles from the nearest settlement, with the long polar night stretching into darkness for months to come.

A convicted felon is given a choice following his sentencing: serve a 25-year conventional prison sentence...or spend 365 days in a new, experimental corrections program. He opts for the experimental program, only to realize he has made a horrible mistake. A dark tale of science spun dangerously out of control, Exoskeleton will leave even the most jaded of listeners quaking in their boots.

In Unicorns Among Us, Lars Nielsen lays out the brief history of data science since its beginnings not long ago in this century. He as well explores the evolution of the role of the data scientist through this same period, and explores the best qualifications, the tools, the techniques, and the training involved in the practice of this arcane discipline.

Outstanding Intro
Revisado: 10-04-14
Excellent, easy and enjoyable tutorial on the Zen of data science and the professionals who practice that Zen - what they do, and how and why they do it. Data Science is a nuanced craft, and this nuanced exposition delivers a firm understanding such as will prove of special value to non-techies (and, for that matter, would-be data scientists). Highly recommended.
