Big Data by Brian Clegg
New for Icons Hot Science series - a startling insight into the data that runs our lives.
As always, Clegg writes with an easy clarity that draws us in - no technical expertise required to understand his exploration of this essential subject - and throughout Big Data's highly enjoyable pages, the spread and range of material is highly impressive - dizzying in factI personally found entirely new perspectives on the subject that will keep me pondering for quite some time. I should add that, if I were still a statistics lecturer at Oxford, I would recommend the book to my students as bedside reading. -- Peet Morris * Former Lecturer in Statistics (St Hilda’s College Oxford), Lecturer/Researcher in software development *
Clegg provides an engaging insight, reflecting on its positives and negatives. A holiday workout for the brain. * Saga Magazine *
