Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Want to tap the power behind search rankings, product recommendations, social bookmarking, and online matchmaking? This fascinating book demonstrates how you can build Web 2.0 applications to mine the enormous amount of data created by people on the Internet. With the sophisticated algorithms in this book, you can write smart programs to access interesting datasets from other web sites, collect data from users of your own applications, and analyze and understand the data once you've found it. Programming Collective Intelligence takes you into the world of machine learning and statistics, and explains how to draw conclusions about user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior in general -- all from information that you and others collect every day. Each algorithm is described clearly and concisely with code that can immediately be used on your web site, blog, Wiki, or specialized application.This book explains: * Collaborative filtering techniques that enable online retailers to recommend products or media * Methods of clustering to detect groups of similar items in a large dataset * Search engine features -- crawlers, indexers, query engines, and the PageRank algorithm * Optimization algorithms that search millions of possible solutions to a problem and choose the best one * Bayesian filtering, used in spam filters for classifying documents based on word types and other features * Using decision trees not only to make predictions, but to model the way decisions are made * Predicting numerical values rather than classifications to build price models * Support vector machines to match people in online dating sites * Non-negative matrix factorization to find the independent features in a dataset * Evolving intelligence for problem solving -- how a computer develops its skill by improving its own code the more it plays a game Each chapter includes exercises for extending the algorithms to make them more powerful. Go beyond simple database-backed applications and put the wealth of Internet data to work for you. "Bravo!I cannot think of a better way for a developer to first learn these algorithms and methods, nor can I think of a better way for me (an old AI dog) to reinvigorate my knowledge of the details." -- Dan Russell, Google "Toby's book does a great job of breaking down the complex subject matter of machine-learning algorithms into practical, easy-to-understand examples that can be directly applied to analysis of social interaction across the Web today. If I had this book two years ago, it would have saved precious time going down some fruitless paths." -- Tim Wolters, CTO, Collective Intellect

Prophet of Innovation Harvard University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Listen to a short interview with Thomas McCraw/Host: Chris Gondek/Producer: Heron & Crane. Pan Am, Gimbel's, Pullman, Douglas Aircraft, Digital Equipment Corporation, British Leyland - all once as strong as dinosaurs, all now just as extinct. Destruction of businesses, fortunes, products, and careers is the price of progress toward a better material life. No one understood this bedrock economic principle better than Joseph A. Schumpeter. 'Creative destruction', he said, is the driving force of capitalism. Described by John Kenneth Galbraith as 'the most sophisticated conservative' of the twentieth century, Schumpeter made his mark as the prophet of incessant change. His vision was stark: nearly all businesses fail, victims of innovation by their competitors. Businesspeople ignore this lesson at their peril - to survive, they must be entrepreneurial and think strategically. Yet in Schumpeter's view, the general prosperity produced by the 'capitalist engine' far outweighs the wreckage it leaves behind. During a tumultuous life spanning two world wars, the Great Depression, and the early Cold War, Schumpeter reinvented himself many times.From boy wonder in turn-of-the-century Vienna to captivating Harvard professor, he was stalked by tragedy and haunted by the specter of his rival, John Maynard Keynes. By 1983 - the centennial of the birth of both men - Forbes christened Schumpeter, not Keynes, the best navigator through the turbulent seas of globalization. Time has proved that assessment accurate. "Prophet of Innovation" is also the private story of a man rescued repeatedly by women who loved him and put his well-being above their own. Without them, he would likely have perished, so fierce were the conflicts between his reason and his emotions. Drawing on all of Schumpeter's writings, including many intimate diaries and letters never before used, this biography paints the full portrait of a magnetic figure who aspired to become the world's greatest economist, lover, and horseman - and admitted to failure only with the horses.

He is the only author to have won the Boleslavsky Medal as well as the ACP, Guardian, ECF and ChessCafe Book of the Year awards. He trains grandmasters from four continents and has helped players win school tournaments, national titles, as well as international opens, the US Championship, the World Cup, the Candidates and two Olympiad gold medals.ISBN 978-1-907982-35-4 - 408 pages - Published (hardcover) 7 June 2017ISBN 978-1-907982-34-7 - Published (paperback) 17 January 2018Reviews"Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard is one of the world#8217;s premier chess writers and trainers and Grand Master Preparation: Thinking Inside the Box is the sixth and final volume in his self-improvement series of over 2000 pages that is without equal.The contents of previous books in the series (Calculation, Positional Play, Strategic Play, Attack and Defense and Endgame Play) were largely explained by their titles, but Thinking Inside the Box, arguably the best of the bunch, covers a wider variety of topics... Highly Recommended." IM John Donaldson "With his latest work, "Thinking Inside The Box", Jacob Aagaard closes the Grandmaster Preparation series and links the predecessors in a very entertaining way, while also introducing new facets. It reminded me of the Scottish tradition of entertaining authors, such as Paul Motwani and Jonathan Rowson, who knew how to entertain in a very personal way, but also gave a lot of chess knowledge.The level is not too high and every chess friend can take something from the book... For me this is a very strong book." IM Dirk Schuh "Thinking Inside the Box is an immensely rich book...Very few chess books have stuck with me the way that Thinking Inside the Box has. I think it is Aagaard's finest work, filled with useful insights, and I find myself reflecting on it frequently as I play and study." John Hartmann , Chess Life (full review)"The Grandmaster Preparation series previously included five parts on Calculation, Positional Play, Strategic Play, Attack and Defence and Endgame Play. The apotheosis is now published: Thinking Inside the Box.Anyone who takes the trouble to read more than 400 pages, from whatever level, will encounter topics that he or she may never have thought about."

Chronicles of a Million Dollar Trader - My Road, Valleys, and Peaks to Final Trading Victory John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Praise for Chronicles of a Million Dollar Trader "Focus, tenacity, self-analysis, and intensity. Don Miller conveys the essence of trading in such a compelling and down-to-earth manner - the reader literally eats, sleeps, and breathes Don's moments of triumph and exhaustion. Don clearly nails the most pertinent points in this business: add to your position when you have a strong hand, fight to dig yourself out of the inevitable abyss, and don't trade when you are tired. This book is what professional trading is Truly about!" (Linda Raschke, President, LBRGroup, Inc). "My career as a broker with some of the largest futures brokerages in the world has put me in a unique position to evaluate traders. I've been able to observe many of the best futures traders in the industry over the past twenty years. And what I can state with certainty is that Don Miller is one of, if not the, best futures traders I've seen. Great traders are able to recognize and adapt to changing market environments. They take their mistakes and use them to become better traders. Great traders possess the unique discipline to manage a losing trade as well as a winning one.These are the qualities I have witnessed Don Miller master. The fact that Don has agreed to share his experiences and insights makes this book an invaluable doctrine to all traders and investors alike." (Patrick Lafferty, President, Capital Trading Group). "I've had the good fortune of watching Don Miller trade profitably in front a live group of full-time traders over a two-day period of time. The methods Don teaches are solid, and more importantly, as you will see here in his book, they've been consistently successful. This book goes further than most trading books because you get to live with Don day by day, seeing both his actual trading along with his mind frame. If you want to learn from someone who has mastered day trading, and has successfully done so for years, then this book is must reading. Highly recommended!"(Larry Connors, founder, TradingMarkets.com; author of How Markets Really Work). "I have personally seen Don trade for several years, and he is candidly one of the best. His book is enlightening and helpful in understanding the mindset of a successful trader." (Steve Demarest, President, MB Trading). "A true story of sacrifice, hardship, and success.Don Miller shares his story to make $1 million in one year in real time, real trading records, and real life." (James L. Koutoulas, Esq., CEO, Typhon).

PhotoTour Wildflowers of Western Australia Vol1 Jeremy Braithwaite

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

PhotoTour Wildflowers Of Western Australia Vol1 is a 180 page photographic book which captures the 2016 wildflower season in Western Australia from Kalbarri in the north to Perth. Vol 2 covers Perth to Esperance. The season was the best in two decades according to some experts thanks to good rain in April and May and consistent follow up rain in the months following. WA contains more than 50% of Australia's documented Biodiversity Hotspots and the south west is listed as one of 34 in the world. Surrounded by desert the plants and animals have evolved in isolation and many are completely unique to this locality.They make perfect photographic subjects with a huge range of colours, textures and shapes. The book explores a natural beauty which simply takes your breath away. It delves into detail and many of the flowers are shown much larger in the book than they are in real life.It therefore differs from the traditional flower book which is designed to help the reader identify plants and species. The flowers are not identified in the book and in many instances names are in the process of being changed as a result of better identification techniques such as DNA. The purpose of the book is to examine the natural beauty of the flowers and present it to the reader so that they also can share in it.The two volumes represent almost three months on the road in 4wd and caravan and over 16,000km. The photographs span early August to late September. This is generally considered the peak season, but you can spot flowers all year round.The digital camera that was used to photograph the wildflowers was primarily a Canon 5DsR and a Canon 100mm macro lens. A Canon 5D Mk3 was also used and a variety of other lenses including a very wide angle 11-24mm zoom.The 5DsR uses a 50mp sensor; each photograph is taken as a RAW image and has a size of 8688 x 5792 pixels or 735mm x 490mm at 100% resolution. This typically consumes around 70mb of storage. To fit the 8.5" square format of the book each photograph has therefore been cropped to around a quarter of its original size. This provides a scale of magnification beyond traditional photography and this is reflected in many of the photographs in the book. It was a common occurrence to spot things on the computer that had not been seen through the viewfinder at the time of talking the photograph, particularly insects.The name PhotoTour will be used in a series of photographic books of which this is the first. It is hoped it provides some inspiration for people to travel to Western Australia and experience the wildflower wonderful for themselves. Their friends will not believe what they try to describe, until they show them the book.

Graffiti Avantgarde Publikat

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Nine years after their legendary book INTERNATIONAL TOPSPRAYER, which is out of print long-since and traded for hundreds of euros by now, MOSES & TAPS release a brick twice as thick: GRAFFITI AVANTGARDE is a heavyweight! With 544 pages, more than 2000 photos in ten chapters as well as a variety of exciting and subtle texts, it gives a deep insight into MOSES & TAPS broad work as graffiti artist since 2011. The book shows how they managed the balancing act between bombing trains and being accepted artists and explains why these two worlds are not mutually exclusive.The monograph begins with an interview with MOSES & TAPS by the criminologist Ike, in which she explores the question of what actually constitutes the graffiti avant-garde, who it is, what goals it has and what it drives. The TOPSPRAYER chapter, in which MOSES & TAPS lead us through various stops on trains from Russia to the USA, is followed by the SPLASH chapter, in which you learn on which places you can leave colorful traces with spray cans without using a fatcap and letters.Afterwards the scepter is handed over to ALIAS, whose professed 1001 trains in 999 days on 176 pages are rounded off by his stories and the action photos of Edward Nightingale. In SCRATCHITI MOSES shows why he paints glass panes in order to clean them, how he brings them from the train yards to the museum and back again and we learn why he hates Mickey Mouse. In the chapter CORPORATE IDENTITY Robert Kaltenhäuser then deciphers how all chapters can be connected via MOSES & TAPS CI codes, why yellow-blue works better than Banksy and what´s behind it.In IMAGE OF GRAFFITI TAPS makes clear, why Graffiti must be illegal and reveals how one can create an image of it on canvases nevertheless. While the chapter SCHÖPFERISCHE ZERSTÖRUNG ("creative destruction") deals with the complexity of MOSES & TAPS' works, which are expressed in collage pieces, the part KONZEPT-VANDALISMUS is dedicated to their unique conceptual works on trains - and sometimes also the walls inside. To round the book off, MOSES & TAPS explain and illustrate in two separate chapters their very personal approach of developing their styles.

Garden of Pomegranates Llewellyn Publications,U.S.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Long considered the best single introduction to the Qabalah for magicians, the third edition of Israel Regardie's A Garden of Pomegranates is now better than ever, thanks to the extensive annotations and new material by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero. Their work has made A Garden of Pomegranateseasier to understand, more complete, and up to date. It now includes over 300 pages of never-before-published information from two Senior Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Expands Regardie's definitive text into a practical manual for Qabalistic magic Includes pathworkings and guided visualizations for the 32 Paths of Wisdom Suggests a course of study for learning the Qabalah and incorporating its teachings into daily life Shows how to create your own personal Qabalistic mantra using gematria or Hebrew numerology Includes a technique for Rising on the Planes, so you can explore different Qabalistic worlds Features a Middle Pillar-style exercise for exploring and activating different parts of the soul Written by one of the most influential magical teachers of modern times and two of his personal students The Qabalah is the ancient system of Hebrew mysticism that is the foundation of Western magical and esoteric studies. Its primary symbol is the Tree of Life, a diagram that can aid in the study of the nature of the Universe, the essence of God, and the human mind, spirit, and soul. A Garden of Pomegranates is the clearest introductory guide on this subject. When Israel Regardie wrote A Garden of Pomegranates in 1932, he designed it to be a simple yet comprehensive guidebook outlining the complex system of the Qabalah and providing a key to its symbolism. Since then, it has achieved the status of a classic among texts on the Qabalah. The full annotations, critical commentary, and explanatory notes now make this book the ultimate single resource on the subject. The new material, including pathworkings, exercises, daily affirmations, rituals, meditations, and more, not only complement the original, full text included in this edition, but also make A Garden of Pomegranates indispensable for modern magicians.

No Easy Answers Lantern Books,US

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, two seniors at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, walked into their school and shot to death twelve students and one teacher, and wounded many others. It was the worst single act of murder at a school in U.S. history. Few people knew Dylan Klebold or Eric Harris better than Brooks Brown. Brown and Klebold were best friends in grade school, and years later, at Columbine, Brown was privy to some of Harris and Klebolds darkest fantasies and most troubling revelations After the shootings, Brown was even accused by the police of having been in on the massacre simply because he had been friends with the killers. Now, for the first time, Brown, with journalist Rob Merritt, gets to tell his full version of the story. He describes the warning signs that were missed or ignored, and the evidence that was kept hidden from the public after the murders. He takes on those who say that rock music or video games caused Klebold and Harris to kill their classmates and explores what it might have been that pushed these two young men, from supposedly stable families, to harbor such violent and apocalyptic dreams. Shocking as well as inspirational and insightful, No Easy Answers is an authentic wake-up call for all the psychologists, authorities, parents, and law enforcement personnel who have attempted to understand the murders at Columbine High School. As the title suggests, the book offers no easy answers, but instead presents the unvarnished facts about growing up as an alienated teenager in America today. Brooks Brown graduated from Columbine High School in 1999; this is his first book. Most recently, Brooks worked and consulted on Michael Moores latest documentary called Bowling for Columbine. He lives in Littleton, Colorado. Rob Merritt graduated from the University of Iowa School of Journalism in 1998 and currently works as a newspaper writer in Marshalltown, Iowa.
