We are in the midst of a seismic shift in the Data Science world. Industries are waking up to the reality that data is an asset, and not a simple storage necessity. ~ (Locations 1306-9)For a techie book, "Secrets of the Big Data Revolution" is surprising easy to understand. The authors explain how data mining is affecting healthcare, politics, dairy farming and even restaurants. They explain the world of data discovery and briefly touch on some exciting possibilities. This book also contains a brief interview with Dr. Andreas Weigend who used to be Amazon's Chief Data Scientist. I felt this book would be great for anyone who has a business who wants to be successful in the future. It is more of an introduction to data mining. At the end of the book the authors introduce a product called Touchdata that runs advanced statistical analysis. It sounds exciting.~The Rebecca Review
