How can we make sense of the deluge of information in the digital age? The new science of Quantitative Ethnography dissolves the boundaries between quantitative and qualitative research to give researchers tools for studying the human side of big data: to understand not just what data says, but what it tells us about the people who created it. Thoughtful, literate, and humane, Quantitative Ethnography integrates data-mining, discourse analysis, psychology, statistics, and ethnography into a brand-new science for understanding what people do and why they do it. Packed with anecdotes, stories, and clear explanations of complex ideas, Quantitative Ethnography is an engaging introduction to research methods for students, an introduction to data science for qualitative researchers, and an introduction to the humanities for statisticians-but also a compelling philosophical and intellectual journey for anyone who wants to understand learning, culture and behavior in the age of big data.

The Psychology of Winning\n"I've known and admired Jim Cathcart since the late 1970s when we were both aspiring speakers 
growing our careers. We have served together on boards and committees, shared social times and 
business collaborations. Through it all I have found Jim to be a man of character and a compelling 
speaker. We invited him to serve as Artist in Residence at High Point University. That should tell you 
that Jim is a speaker you can trust to bring great ideas to your organization." 
Dr. Nido R. Qubein, President, High Point University\n"There are many resources on delivering a better speech, but my great friend 
Jim Cathcart has written the Bible on how to be a distinctive speaker. There's an 
enormous difference between the two. Jim not only teaches how your presentation 
can make a greater impact on your audience, he gives you every conceivable 
nuance on each step you must take - on and off the platform - to stand out when 
you stand up to speak."
