In this insightful book, you'll learn from the best data practitioners in the field just how wide-ranging -- and beautiful -- working with data can be. Join 39 contributors as they explain how they developed simple and elegant solutions on projects ranging from the Mars lander to a Radiohead video. With Beautiful Data, you will:
Explore the opportunities and challenges involved in working with the vast number of datasets made available by the Web
Learn how to visualize trends in urban crime, using maps and data mashups
Discover the challenges of designing a data processing system that works within the constraints of space travel
Learn how crowdsourcing and transparency have combined to advance the state of drug research
Understand how new data can automatically trigger alerts when it matches or overlaps pre-existing data
Learn about the massive infrastructure required to create, capture, and process DNA data
That's only small sample of what you'll find in Beautiful Data. For anyone who handles data, this is a truly fascinating book.
... The contents are less impressive: O'Reilly bring together a heterogeneous group of authors and let them fend for themselves, with no editorial effort to unite their stories. Some authors hold their own, presenting interesting analyses and visualizations, or just interesting tales, others are less successful. (The spectrum of statistical expertise, for example, is bounded by Andrew Gelman and a graduate student believing that normality is a requirement of the central-limit theorem). 'Interesting' is a good thing, but for $40 I would like 'useful', and here the book comes up short. An appealing leisure read, but not much more, I am afraid.
