Description: "In this book you will discover how data can be 'found' in the world, captured from different forms of observation and retrieved from data banks of various kinds. There is a particular focus on use of the Internet, which promises to be a major source of unobtrusive data. You will learn how to generate unobtrusive measures, and also look at some of the wider ethical issues raised by the use of unobtrusive data."--Jacket.
