History

Johnson Publishing Company, Inc.

The county of Dellwood, Michigan was a modest quiet, middle class community, known mostly for its picturesque view, its warm summer climate and its festive summer recreational activities. One of its biggest year round attractions was the abundant species of fishes found in the famed Dellwood Lake. Both professional and amateur fishermen came from miles just to have their chance at catching the big one. Suddenly, and without provocation, the lake's reputation became complicated because of a change in the communities' ecological system. The reason being, the invasion of an unusual, intimidating specie of fishes, which suddenly appeared there. Their very presence endangered the life of every species in the lake, every species in the nearby woods and threatened the lifestyle of the community at large.

Succeeding Against the Odds: The Autobiography of a Great American Businessman

Bennett Jr., Lerone

While everyone is talking about "big data," the truth is that understanding the "little data"--the stats that underlie newspaper headlines, stock reports, weather forecasts, and so on--is what helps you make smarter decisions at work, at home, and in every aspect of your life. The average person consumes approximately 30 gigabytes of data every single day, but has no idea how to interpret it correctly. EVERYDATA explains, through the eyes of an expert economist and statistician, how to decipher the small bytes of data we consume in a day. EVERYDATA is filled with countless examples of people misconstruing data--with results that range from merely frustrating to catastrophic: The space shuttle Challenger exploded in part because the engineers were reviewing a limited sample set. Millions of women avoid caffeine during pregnancy because they interpret correlation as causation. Attorneys faced a $1 billion jury verdict because of outlier data. Each chapter highlights one commonly misunderstood data concept, using both realworld and hypothetical examples from a wide range of topics, including business, politics, advertising, law, engineering, retail, parenting, and more. You'll find the answer to the question--"Now what?"--along with concrete ways you can use this information to immediately start making smarter decisions, today and every day.
