More data has been produced in the 21st century than all of human history combined. Yet, are we making better decisions today than in the past? How many poor decisions result from the absence of data? The existence of an overwhelming amount of data has affected how we make decisions, but it has not necessarily improved how we make decisions. To make better decisions, people need good judgment based on data literacy—the ability to extract meaning from data. Including data in the decision-making process can bring considerable clarity in answering our questions. Nevertheless, human beings can become distracted, overwhelmed, and even confused in the presence of too much data. The book presents cautionary tales of what can happen when too much attention is spent on acquiring more data instead of understanding how to best use the data we already have. Data is not produced in a vacuum, and individuals who possess data literacy will understand the environment and incentives in the data-generating process. Readers of this book will learn what questions to ask, what data to pay attention to, and what pitfalls to avoid in order to make better decisions. They will also be less vulnerable to those who manipulate data for misleading purposes.

The official inside story of the discovery of the bones of Richard III now a major motion picture starring Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan The mystery of who Richard III really was has fascinated historians, readers and audiences familiar with Shakespeare's dastardly portrait of a hunchbacked monster of royalty for centuries. In 2012, the remains of a man with a curving spine, who possibly was killed in battle, were discovered underneath the paving of a parking lot in Leicester, England. Phillipa Langley, head of The Richard III Society, spurred on by the work of the historian Michael Jones, led the team of who uncovered the remains, certain that she had found the bones of the monarch. When DNA verification later confirmed that the skeleton was, indeed, that of King Richard III, the discovery ranks among the great stories of passionate intuition and perseverance against the odds. The news of the discovery of Richard's remains has been widely reported by the British as well as worldwide and was front page news for both the New York Times and The Washington Post. Many believe that now, with King Richard III's skeleton in hand, historians will finally begin to understand what happened to him following the Battle of Bosworth Field (twenty miles or so from Leicester) and, ultimately, to know whether he was the hateful, unscrupulous monarch of Shakespeare's drama or a much more benevolent king interested in the common man. Written in alternating chapters, with Richard's 15th century life told by historian Michael Jones (author of the critically acclaimed Bosworth - 1485) contrasting with the 21st century eyewitness account of the search and discovery of the body by Philippa Langley, The Lost King will be both an extraordinary portrait of the last Plantagenet monarch and the inspiring story of the archaeological dig that finally brings the real King Richard III into the light of day.

He may not know how Christ's death and resurrection affect him. There may be many things he does not know about his salvation. Entering The Kingdom: Knowing Every Detail About a Christian's Salvation was written to explain these details. It explains in simple and straightforward language all the details regarding a Christian's salvation and how he became part of the kingdom of God. When a Christian learns these details, he will understand who he is as a member of God's kingdom and how he should live within it. A Christian can then glorify God and fulfill God's purpose for their lives.

This book might disturb you. These are not poems meant to sooth you or sing you to sleep. This is a book about revolution. The Enemy of Everything is a poetic and visual assault on Reality itself. This radical collection of poems and illustrations forces the reader to evaluate shared life perceptions from an extreme and unusual--yet somehow familiar--point of view. On these pages are ideas that live at the innermost core of the human experience. These are the quintessential questions that we all ask, but ultimately turn away from, as we bury ourselves in the distractions of everyday survival. As a connected poetic journey, the collection plunges the reader deep into the mysterious facets of being, examining why we exist, what we all face as conscious beings, and what we can do to realize our own collective human power. Within the rhythm and rhyme of its language is embedded an exploration of all that should matter most. These are poems aimed at the greatest enemy humanity has ever known. The Enemy of Everything is who we all fight...from our first earthly gasp to our last dying breath.
