  In From Big Data to Big Profits, Russell Walker investigates the use of Big Data to stimulate innovations in operational effectiveness and business growth. Walker examines the nature of Big Data and how businesses can use it to create new monetization opportunities. Using case studies of Apple, Netflix, Google, LinkedIn, Zillow, Amazon, and other leaders in the use of Big Data, Walker explores how digital platforms such as mobile apps and social networks are changing the nature of customer interactions and the way Big Data is created and used by companies. Such changes, as Walker points out, will require careful consideration of legal and unspoken business practices as they affect consumer privacy. Companies looking to develop a Big Data strategy will find great value in the SIGMA framework, which he has developed to assess companies for Big Data readiness and provide direction on the steps necessary to get the most from Big Data. 
   
   
   
  Rigorous and meticulous, From Big Data to Big Profits is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals with an interest in Big Data, digital platforms, and analytics.

  Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.

  Computer Architecture and Organization is a foundational subject in computer science and engineering that explores the internal structure and functioning of computer systems. It encompasses the design principles of hardware components, how these components interact, and the organizational methods used to optimize performance, efficiency, and functionality. This detailed document explores the critical concepts of computer architecture and organization, from basic logic gates to complex processor pipelines. Topics include the von Neumann model, instruction set architecture (ISA), CPU organization, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, control units, pipelining, RISC vs CISC, parallelism, and modern trends like multi-core systems, GPU architectures, and quantum computing potentials. The document also discusses the distinctions between architecture (the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure) and organization (the realization and implementation of architecture), illustrating their interdependence.

  Walden - or Life in the Woods;...

  Henry David Thoreau

  A man builds a cabin at a pond outside Concord, plants beans, keeps accounts to the half-cent, and reports what a year of deliberate living costs and returns. Thoreau went to the woods in 1845 and stayed two years and two months; he was jailed one night for refusing a tax that paid for a war and slavery, and the essay on that night is printed here beside the pond. The arithmetic is exact, the mockery of his neighbours is affectionate, and the ice on the pond is measured. A hundred plates by painters from Munch to Bierstadt, from sunrise in the woods to a house in Maridalen, keep the pond and its cabin in view.

  What does it take to build a career as a credentialed dietetics practitioner in a world that wasn't designed for disabilities? 
   
  This pioneering collection of true stories from 15 credentialed dietetics practitioners with disabilities shares their journeys through higher education, supervised practice, national credentialing examinations, employment, accommodations, disability disclosure, and disability culture related to food. It fills a gap in dietetics literature and offers readers with and without disabilities new perspectives. The stories offer practical guidance to overcome barriers and show how disabilities can deepen empathy, strengthen patient care, and enrich the dietetics profession.  
   
  Educational chapters cover topics such as pathways into the dietetics profession; Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics; Disabilities in Nutrition and Dietetics Member Interest Group; and disability statistics and resources. 
   
  Dietetics practitioners are food and nutrition experts who help people eat better, reduce disease risk, manage health conditions, and thrive. They work in healthcare, education, research, food service, government programs, private practice, and more. Yet despite serving a diverse population, the profession remains mainly female, white, and nondisabled. Approximately 2% of credentialed dietetics practitioners have a disability, compared with 29% of U.S. adults. 
   
  An essential resource for individuals with disabilities exploring careers; dietetics students and educators; career counselors and disability professionals; employers; healthcare practitioners; and families. Ideal for academic, healthcare, and public libraries. Supports coursework, mentoring, and professional development. 
   
  Six professional reviews converge on themes of resilience, advocacy, empathy, professional excellence, disability inclusion, and the practical information provided to readers. 
   
  Recommended by three past presidents of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

  An ideal entry point into health economics for everyone from aspiring economists to healthcare professionals. 
   
  The economics of healthcare are messy. For most consumers, there’s little control over costs or services. Sometimes doctors are paid a lot; other times they aren’t paid at all. Insurance and drug companies are evil, except when they’re not. If economics is the study of market efficiency, how do we make sense of this? 
   
  Better Health Economics is a warts-and-all introduction to a field that is more exceptions than rules. Economists Tal Gross and Matthew J. Notowidigdo offer readers an accessible primer on the field’s essential concepts, a review of the latest research, and a framework for thinking about this increasingly imperfect market. 
   
  A love letter to a traditionally unlovable topic, Better Health Economics provides an ideal entry point for students in social science, business, public policy, and healthcare. It’s a reminder that healthcare may be a failed market—but it’s our failed market.
