Dlouholetý šéf rangerů Dan O’Brien má jednu vadu: dělá svou práci až příliš dobře. Teď ho však jeho urputná snaha chránit faunu a flóru v širokém okolí řeky Kanuyaq možná bude stát místo. Politici ruku v ruce s byznysmeny by totiž na území v jeho péči velice rádi začali těžit ropu. Za Dana vyrážejí do boje všichni místní z rezervace, kterým on ani životní prostředí Aljašky nejsou lhostejné – v čele se soukromou vyšetřovatelkou Kate Shugakovou. Jejich snahou však otřese brutální útok, který si vyžádá život jedné z dlouholetých členek komunity. Vražda vyvolá řadu otázek, které se sypou jedna za druhou jako sněhové vločky ze zimní oblohy, přičemž nejdůležitější z nich zní: Proč? Byla smrt Diny Willnerové skutečně jen šíleným činem psychicky zlomeného muže, nebo snad někomu tahle „ekoteroristka“, jak ji také označovali, stála v cestě za splněním vlastních plánů?

A mother and daughter travel from abroad to meet in Tokyo: they walk along the canals through the autumn evenings, escape the typhoon rains, share meals in small cafes and restaurants, and visit galleries to see some of the city’s most radical modern art. All the while, they talk: about the weather, horoscopes, clothes, and objects, about family, distance, and memory. But uncertainties abound. Who is really speaking here – is it only the daughter? And what is the real reason behind this elliptical, perhaps even spectral journey? At once a careful reckoning and an elegy, Cold Enough for Snow questions whether any of us speak a common language, which dimensions can contain love, and what claim we have to truly know another’s inner world. Selected from more than 1,500 entries, Cold Enough for Snow won the Novel Prize, a new, biennial award offered by Fitzcarraldo Editions, New Directions (US) and Giramondo (Australia), for any novel written in English that explores and expands the possibilities of the form.

We are drowning in data but are starved for knowledge. Data Analytics is the discipline of extracting actionable insights by structuring, processing, analysing and visualising data using methods and software tools. Hence, we gain knowledge by understanding the data. A roadmap to achieve this is encapsulated in the knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) process. Databases help us store data in a structured way. The structure query language (SQL) allows us to gain first insights about business opportunities. Visualising the data using business intelligence tools and data science languages deepens our understanding of the key performance indicators and business characteristics. This can be used to create relevant classification and prediction models; for instance, to provide customers with the appropriate products or predict the eruption time of geysers. Machine learning algorithms help us in this endeavour. Moreover, we can create new classes using unsupervised learning methods, which can be used to define new market segments or group customers with similar characteristics. Finally, artificial intelligence allows us to reason under uncertainty and find optimal solutions for business challenges. All these topics are covered in this book with a hands-on process, which means we use numerous examples to introduce the concepts and several software ... Unknown localization key: "more"
