  Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
  it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
   
   
   
  All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
  professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
   
   
   
  There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
  prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.

  This book bundle provides a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic systems that govern our planet and the broader universe. The book starts by examining geophysics, the study of Earth's physical properties and processes, such as seismic activity, magnetic fields, and plate tectonics, offering critical insights into the mechanisms that shape our planet's structure and behavior. It delves into how forces within Earth interact on both a global and local scale, including how geophysical phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity affect human societies. 
  Expanding beyond Earth, the book also introduces string theory, an advanced framework in theoretical physics that attempts to unify the forces of nature by describing particles as vibrating strings. String theory provides a potential explanation for the fundamental structure of the universe, connecting the realms of quantum mechanics and general relativity. The principles of physics serve as the foundation for understanding these phenomena, tying together classical and modern theories to explain the behavior of matter and energy across different scales—from the Earth’s interior to the farthest reaches of space.

  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.
