At Missouri House, a stagecoach stop in the goldfields of the Sierra Nevada, Ida Hatfield and her mother Molly are surrounded by danger as Yankees, Rebels, and outlaws vie to possess the glittering treasure of the Northern Mines. In nearby Nevada City, Will Stafford, a young Virginian attorney, finds California becoming as dear to his heart as his Southern homeland. As the War of Rebellion rages on, his loves and loyalties are put to the ultimate test. Nevada City, the Queen of the Northern Mines, was a vibrant community in the 1860's. The story's characters, real and fictional, come from all over the globe. In addition to the central theme of warring Americans, the book tells of Ah Tie, a Chinese mine owner who is denied justice for his two murdered guards; of Peter Kessel, an Austrian musician and absconded revolutionary, who finds an improbable bride in the American wilderness; and of Nutim, a Maidu orphan, who plots revenge against the white “ghost people” who are destroying his tribe.

Genre Fiction

Bear River Books

In the long and bitter prelude to war, southern transplants dominated California government, keeping the state aligned with Dixie. However, a murderous duel in 1859 killed �Free Soil� U.S. Senator David C. Broderick, and public opinion began to change. As war broke out back east, a golden-tongued preacher named Reverend Thomas Starr King crisscrossed the state endeavoring to save the Golden State for the Union. Seventeen thousand California volunteers thwarted secessionist schemes and waged brutal campaigns against native tribesmen resisting white encroachment as far away as Idaho and New Mexico. And a determined battalion of California cavalry journeyed to Virginia�s Shenandoah Valley to battle John Singleton Mosby, the South�s deadliest partisan ranger. Author Richard Hurley delves into homefront activities during the nation�s bloodiest war and chronicles the adventures of the brave men who fought far from home.

Predictive Analytics: The Secret to Predicting Future Events Using Big Data and Data Science Techniques Such as Data Mining, Predictive Modelling, Statistics, Data Analysis, and Machine Learning

If you want to learn about predictive analytics without having to read a boring textbook, then keep reading... Companies are collecting more data from ever. With the ease of collecting all that data, all the different sources where you can receive the data, and the inexpensive storage, it makes sense to collect as much data as possible. But without a good analysis of that data, and without some time to really figure out what trends and insights are inside all of it, that data becomes worthless. This is where predictive analytics is going to come in handy. You will be able to actually take all of the data that you have been collecting and storing, and see what insights are in there to lead some of your business decisions in the future. This guidebook is going to look at predictive analytics, and some of the topics we will explore concerning this topic include: <ul> <li>The basics of predictive analysis.</li> <li>How to predict events that are going to happen in the future with big data and data mining.</li> <li>How to predict events that are going to happen in the future with the help of data analysis and statistics.</li> <li>A look at machine learning and how this process can help make predictions.</li> <li>How to avoid prediction traps, avoid bias, and make the best decisions with this analysis.</li> <li>Some of the top reasons to implement this kind of analysis in your business.</li> <li>The steps you can take to create your own predictive analysis model.</li> <li>And much, much more!</li> </ul> Working on predictive analytics is going to be one of the best ways that your business can use the data you have to look more deeply inside, and sort through the different predictions you can make.

Two manuscripts in one book: <ul> <li>Business Intelligence: An Essential Beginner's Guide to BI, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Machine Learning, Data Science, Data Analytics, Social Media and Internet Marketing</li> <li>Predictive Analytics: The Secret to Predicting Future Events Using Big Data and Data Science Techniques Such as Data Mining, Predictive Modelling, Statistics, Data Analysis, and Machine Learning</li> </ul> In the modern business world, the pace of action continues to quicken. Businesses need to be able to get actionable insights from their data in order to make the right decisions to act rapidly and effectively. In this book, you will be introduced to the concept of business intelligence. Business intelligence is closely connected to data, and so as part of our journey, we are going to see how modern companies are using big data, together with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and pattern recognition in order to build systems of data-driven decision making. After we get a handle on what business intelligence is, we will learn how it ties together with the next computer revolution (happening right before our eyes). We will discuss the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and pattern recognition to retrieve insights from the large amounts of data that companies are routinely collecting, storing, and using. We will also explore the roles that social media and internet marketing are playing in the growth of business intelligence, and how companies like Facebook are helping other companies act on data in powerful ways. Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: <ul> <li>An Introduction to BI, Big Data, AI, and More</li> <li>An Overview of Business Intelligence</li> <li>BI and AI</li> <li>BI and Big Data</li> <li>BI And Machine Learning</li> <li>Data Science</li> <li>Cybersecurity</li> <li>BI and Data Mining</li> <li>BI and Social Media</li> <li>BI and Internet Marketing</li> <li>And much much more!</li> </ul> Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: <ul> <li>The basics of predictive analysis.</li> <li>How to predict events that are going to happen in the future with big data and data mining.</li> <li>How to predict events that are going to happen in the future with the help of data analysis and statistics.</li> <li>A look at machine learning and how this process can help make predictions.</li> <li>How to avoid prediction traps, avoid bias, and make the best decisions with this analysis.</li> <li>Some of the top reasons to implement this kind of analysis in your business.</li> <li>The steps you can take to create your own predictive analysis model.</li> <li>And much, much more!</li> </ul> So if you want to learn more about business intelligence and predictive analytics, click the "add to cart" button!
