"Big Data" is not just a buzz phrase; it is helping us to make advances in almost every field-from security to shopping, from democracy to finance. But do we really know what Big Data is and where it is taking us? 
 
 
 
Timandra Harkness helps us to explore the basics of Big Data, looking at how it is being used by business to understand its customers, by the police to fight crime, and how politicians are using it to inform policy and win votes. Looking at the great power it holds, alongside the potential dangers, Big Data offers an overview of how this relatively new tool is being used, and guides even the most uninitiated to gain an understanding of the enormous potential of Big Data.
 
 
 
You will learn:
 
·      How Big Data is being used in business, community affairs, and politics
 
·      Why it is important to ask questions and be wary of Big Data
 
·      How to take steps to protect your privacy in the era of Big Data.

    Brainwashed is the explosive exposé of the leftist agenda at work in today's colleges, revealed by firebrand Ben Shapiro—syndicated columnist, podcaster, radio show host, and one of today's most exciting conservative voices—who’s been on the front lines of the battle for America's young minds. This book proves once and for all that so-called higher education continues to sink lower and lower into the depths of liberal madness as close-minded professors turn their students into socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and sex-crazed narcissists.In this book, author Ben Shapiro asks three critical questions:Why are universities so biased?Why do students take their professors at face value?What can we do to stop it?In addition to outlining practical solutions as part of a multi-pronged strategy to deal with this problem, Brainwashed encourages students toconsider the motives of their professors;pay attention to how professors use facts and editorialize during lectures; andask questions, encourage debate, and think before buying into a professor’s mindset.Praise for Brainwashed:"Ben Shapiro's writing is smart, informative, and incisive.  He is wise beyond his years without losing the refreshing fearlessness of youth." Ann Coulter, bestselling author of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Slander, and Treason"In Brainwashed, Shapiro tells the truth—that universities are forums of left-liberal indoctrination, where dissent is discouraged and penalized, with more restrictions on free speech rather any other part of American society. Parents who are paying for tuition might want to take note, and see what their hard-earned money is paying for." Michael Barone, U.S. News & World Report and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics"Welcome to P.C. 101. In this trenchant insider's expose, Ben Shapiro bears witness to the modern American campus freak show. You'll get up close and personal with the Marxist loons, moral relativists, multicultural zealots, and American-haters who are corrupting young minds. Brainwashed reveals the ignominious lows to which higher education has sunk. Get deprogrammed. Buy this book!" Michelle Malkin, nationally syndicated columnist and author of Invasion"Sharp thinking, tight writing, crazy-but-true stories: Ben Shapiro sees campus brainwashing and raises a national protest. This is a good book to give both freshmen who need warning and voters/alumni who need to take action." Dr. Marvin Olasky, University of Texas professor and editor-in-chief of World magazine"A worthy successor to God and Man at Yale and Harvard Hates America in exploring the belly of the academic beast." David Horowitz, founder of Students for Academic Freedom and author of Radical Son and Left Illusions"What Animal House did for the toga party, Brainwashed should do for American resistance to campus radicalism." Rusty Humphries, nationally syndicated radio talk show host
