Huge disappointment as "audio book"

Great course for data science novices

Great and inter course for novices in data science. Covers common and well know material for those in the field, but does offer some clear explanations and examples of complex concepts. The sports data science examples are fantastic.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

One of the best books ever written
Reviewed: 07-04-19
Trevor Noah miraculously turns tragedy into comedy time and time again as he recounts some the horrific events of his childhood during apartheid in a manner that spins them into an uproariously funny tale. Woven within his story we get a glimpse of who we are as a species at our best and our worst.
