Data-ism : the revolution transforming decision making, consumer behavior, and almost everything else / by Lohr, Steve.(CARDINAL)707109;
Includes bibliographical references and index.How big is big data? -- Potential. Potential. Potential -- Bet the company -- Sight and insight -- The rise of the data scientist -- Data storytelling: Correlation and context -- Data gets physical -- The yin and yang of behavior and data -- The long game -- The prying eyes of big data -- The future: Data capitalism.By one estimate, 90 percent of all of the data in history was created in the last two years. In 2014, International Data Corporation calculated the data universe at 4.4 zettabytes, or 4.4 trillion gigabytes. That much information, in volume, could fill enough slender iPad Air tablets to create a stack two-thirds of the way to the moon. Coal, iron ore, and oil were the key productive assets that fueled the Industrial Revolution. The vital raw material of today's information economy is data. In Data-ism, New York Times technology reporter Steve Lohr explains how big-data technology is ushering in a revolution in proportions that promise to be the basis of the next wave of efficiency and innovation across the economy. But more is at work here than technology. Big data is also the vehicle for a point of view, or philosophy, about how decisions will be -- and perhaps should be -- made in the future. This new revolution could change decision making -- by relying more on data and analysis, and less on intuition and experience -- and transform the nature of leadership and management. Focusing on young entrepreneurs at the forefront of data science as well as on giant companies such as IBM that are making big bets on data science for the future of their businesses, Data-ism is a field guide to what is ahead, explaining how individuals and institutions will need to exploit, protect, and manage data to stay competitive in the coming years.

The old woman and the river / by Ismāʻīl, Ismāʻīl Fahd,author.(CARDINAL)813608; Vasalou, Sophia,translator.(CARDINAL)813946;
"After the ceasefire in 1988, the devastation to the landscape of Iraq wrought by the longest war of the twentieth century - the Iran-Iraq War - becomes visible. Eight years of fighting have turned nature upside down, with vast wastelands being left behind. In southeastern Iraq, along the shores of the Shatt al-Arab River, the groves of date palm trees have withered. No longer bearing fruit, their leaves have turned a bright yellow. There, Iraqi forces had blocked the entry points of the river's tributaries and streams, preventing water from flowing to the trees and vegetation. Yet, surveying this destruction from the sky, a strip of land bursting with green can be seen. Beginning from the Shatt al-Arab River and reaching to the fringes of the western desert, several kilometers wide, it appears as a lush oasis of some kind. The secret of this fertility, sustaining villages and remaining soldiers, is unclear. But it is said that one old woman is responsible for this lifeline"--
