Useful One

The information presented is well-organized, and the visual aids include ample graphs and charts. Section breaks are obvious with well-designed titles. Chapters are easy enough to read but don't over-simplify important concepts.

Good One

This book will not make you an expert but at least you will know what the experts are talking about. It is written with just enough math for the non-PhD manager to understand.

Good One

I'm trying to learn data science, and this book is written incredibly well. It gives an overview at a level which gets you a decent technical understanding, plus it points very clearly the way to dive deeper in any particular area that you would like to explore.

Great Compliment

The institution strategy and goals need to be reflected in the procedures used to analyse the data base of the institution and the determination as to what data is relevant.

Poor narration

Could not determine whether the narrator was a computer or a human who had never heard or spoken many of the words in the book.
