Story
From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism?

Story
When "metadata" became breaking news, appearing in stories about surveillance by the National Security Agency, many members of the public encountered this once-obscure term from information science for the first time. Should people be reassured that the NSA was "only" collecting metadata about phone calls - information about the caller, the recipient, the time, the duration, the location - and not recordings of the conversations themselves? Or does phone call metadata reveal more than it seems?

Publisher's Summary
It has never been easier for organizations to gather, store, and process data. Use of data science is driven by the rise of big data and social media, the development of high-performance computing, and the emergence of such powerful methods for data analysis and modeling as deep learning.
Data science encompasses a set of principles, problem definitions, algorithms, and processes for extracting non-obvious and useful patterns from large datasets. It is closely related to the fields of data mining and machine learning, but broader in scope. This book offers a brief history of the field, introduces fundamental data concepts, and describes the stages in a data science project. It considers data infrastructure and the challenges posed by integrating data from multiple sources, introduces the basics of machine learning, and discusses how to link machine learning expertise with real-world problems.
The book also reviews ethical and legal issues, developments in data regulation, and computational approaches to preserving privacy. Finally, it considers the future impact of data science and offers principles for success in data science projects.

performance is borderline unlistenable
good overview/introduction; clear and concise- BUT the narration is atrocious. the reader has great diction and speaks with precision, but he clearly doesn't know much about the subject matter so for about the first 80% of the book he tries to make up for it by careening all over the place with his pitch, stress, juncture, and inflection. his stressing of arbitrary and inappropriate words and syllables takes fairly dense content and adds a layer of complexity that's baffling and unnecessary. to be fair, I'm sure he's a good narrator when it comes to content that he understands.
there we're also some problems with the audio editing in the first third of the book- paragraphs and chapters sometimes start in the middle of a word or sentence, so when you add that to his bizarre pitch modulation, it can be pretty disorienting and leave you wondering if there was something important that was left out.

Reference Book
This book reads like a reference book on data science. Good foundation for understanding data science (i.e., data set, machine learning, clustering, correlation/causation, big data, privacy, and trends).

Comforting
There's probably two hours of material and the ethics/philosophy parts are too absolute for a book about data science. As for the material, most of the application side is common sense, but it was nice to hear it.
