Book Description
Of all the libels that have served as a means of incitement of hate against Jews, and as intellectual justification of anti-Semitism, the myth of the so-called 'Jewish Conspiracy' to gain domination of the whole world, as embodied in the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is probably the most devious and the most dangerous. Previously only analyzed in academic, footnoted studies, the history of the Protocols is presented here by Judge Hadassa Ben-Itto in an eminently readable, fascinating account, telling the stories of the numerous people involved over the hundred years that the forgery has existed. Above all, this is the story of a judge who follows the Protocols into lawyers' chambers and into courtrooms in Switzerland, in South Africa, in Germany, in the United States and in Russia, and presents the reader with a detailed critical analysis of legal proceedings which culminated in fascinating courtroom drama. The truth is revealed again and again, but the lie wouldn't die.

Book Description
"Mesmerizing & fascinating..." —The Seattle Post-Intelligencer "The Freakonomics of big data." —Stein Kretsinger, founding executive of Advertising.com Award-winning | Used by over 30 universities | Translated into 9 languages An introduction for everyone. In this rich, fascinating — surprisingly accessible — introduction, leading expert Eric Siegel reveals how predictive analytics (aka machine learning) works, and how it affects everyone every day. Rather than a “how to” for hands-on techies, the book serves lay readers and experts alike by covering new case studies and the latest state-of-the-art techniques. Prediction is booming. It reinvents industries and runs the world. Companies, governments, law enforcement, hospitals, and universities are seizing upon the power. These institutions predict whether you're going to click, buy, lie, or die. Why? For good reason: predicting human behavior combats risk, boosts sales, fortifies healthcare, streamlines manufacturing, conquers spam, optimizes social networks, toughens crime fighting, and wins elections. How? Prediction is powered by the world's most potent, flourishing unnatural resource: data. Accumulated in large part as the by-product of routine tasks, data is the unsalted, flavorless residue deposited en masse as organizations churn away. Surprise! This heap of refuse is a gold mine. Big data embodies an extraordinary wealth of experience from which to learn. Predictive analytics (aka machine learning) unleashes the power of data. With this technology, the computer literally learns from data how to predict the future behavior of individuals. Perfect prediction is not possible, but putting odds on the future drives millions of decisions more effectively, determining whom to call, mail, investigate, incarcerate, set up on a date, or medicate. In this lucid, captivating introduction — now in its Revised and Updated edition — former Columbia University professor and Predictive Analytics World founder Eric Siegel reveals the power and perils of prediction: What type of mortgage risk Chase Bank predicted before the recession. Predicting which people will drop out of school, cancel a subscription, or get divorced before they even know it themselves. Why early retirement predicts a shorter life expectancy and vegetarians miss fewer flights. Five reasons why organizations predict death — including one health insurance company. How U.S. Bank and Obama for America calculated the way to most strongly persuade each individual. Why the NSA wants all your data: machine learning supercomputers to fight terrorism. How IBM's Watson computer used predictive modeling to answer questions and beat the human champs on TV's Jeopardy! How companies ascertain untold, private truths — how Target figures out you're pregnant and Hewlett-Packard deduces you're about to quit your job. How judges and parole boards rely on crime-predicting computers to decide how long convicts remain in prison. 182 examples from Airbnb, the BBC, Citibank, ConEd, Facebook, Ford, Google, the IRS, LinkedIn, Match.com, MTV, Netflix, PayPal, Pfizer, Spotify, Uber, UPS, Wikipedia, and more. How does predictive analytics work? This jam-packed book satisfies by demystifying the intriguing science under the hood. For future hands-on practitioners pursuing a career in the field, it sets a strong foundation, delivers the prerequisite knowledge, and whets your appetite for more. A truly omnipresent science, predictive analytics constantly affects our daily lives. Whether you are a

Why Warriors Lie Down and Die
Author: Richard Trudgen
Publisher: Why Warriors Pty Ltd
ISBN: 0987387421
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the true causes of the problems facing First Nations people worldwide. Through the history and perspectives of the Yolngu people of northern Australia, this book brings practical insight into the cross-cultural dynamics and systemic barriers that lead to social breakdown and how to do things better. In Arnhem Land, as in Indigenous communities across Australia, the situation is dire: health is poor, unemployment is rife, and life is short. Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is a unique analysis of this crisis and offers examples of how the people can once again take control of their own lives. Finding the real causes of this crisis requires the reader to look at it from the other side of the cultural and language divide—the side where the people themselves live. The book Why Warriors Lie Down and Die takes us to that side. “Many books have been written about the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land, Australia. This one is very different. It speaks about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine. Please join us on this journey of trying to understand each other.” Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra OAM Powerful storytelling Why Warriors Lie Down and Die uses a blend of critical and exploratory thinking about inter-cultural interactions, a deep understanding of Yolngu culture, personal experience, and powerful story-telling. Universities and grass-roots professionals all over the world continue to use it to better understand First Nation communities. Why Warriors Lie Down and Die, was written by Richard Trudgen in 2000, and has sold over 42,000 copies. Yet it seems as if it was written just yesterday due to its enduring real-life revelations of the cross-cultural dynamics that continue to persist and destroy attempts by the Yolngu, and other peoples like them, to achieve health, prosperity, and peace for their communities. The situation is dire For many Indigenous Australians, health is poor, and they die early in life. Training, schooling, and employment outcomes are dismal, and incarceration rates are the highest in the world. This book offers a very different understanding of this crisis, told from the people’s own experiences. It will take the reader to another side of life—a side that most policymakers and program managers know little about. It reveals hidden mechanisms of failure that underlie these experiences, working unseen in culturally distinct and marginalised communities the world over. By seeing this new perspective, the solutions are visible, so that empowerment and hope is found for the challenges of First Nations peoples. For history Buffs The first 5 chapters cover some of the history of the colonisation of east Arnhem Land, NT, Australia with unique stories from the perspectives of the Yolngu people.
