    Uncertain Climes - Debating...

    Uncertain Climes looks to the late nineteenth century to reveal how climate anxiety was a crucial element in the emergence of American modernity. 
     
    Even people who still refuse to accept the reality of human-induced climate change would have to agree that the topic has become inescapable in the United States in recent decades. But as Joseph Giacomelli shows in Uncertain Climes, this is actually nothing new: as far back as Gilded Age America, climate uncertainty has infused major debates on economic growth and national development. 
      
    In this ambitious examination of late-nineteenth-century understandings of climate, Giacomelli draws on the work of scientists, foresters, surveyors, and settlers to demonstrate how central the subject was to the emergence of American modernity. Amid constant concerns about volatile weather patterns and the use of natural resources, nineteenth-century Americans developed a multilayered discourse on climate and what it might mean for the nation’s future. Although climate science was still in its nascent stages during the Gilded Age, fears and hopes about climate change animated the overarching political struggles of the time, including expansion into the American West. Giacomelli makes clear that uncertainty was the common theme linking concerns about human-induced climate change with cultural worries about the sustainability of capitalist expansionism in an era remarkably similar to the United States’ unsettled present.

    Book one: 
    R is an open-source statistical environment and programming language that has grown in popularity for data management and analysis in various industries. “R” Programming teaches you all the R you'll ever need in a rapid and painless manner. 
    R is becoming more well-known by the day, as large institutions embrace it as a standard. Its popularity stems partly from the fact that it is a free tool replacing expensive statistical software products that may take an undue amount of time to master. Furthermore, R allows a user to do complicated statistical analyses with only a few keystrokes, making advanced studies accessible and clear to a broad audience. 
    The book is highly informative with lots of code. Following the book, you will be able to start Rstudio and use the program smoothly. 
    Book two: 
    Interested in statistical computing ? 
    R Programming: Data Analysis and Statistics is a beginner-friendly book. It is written in an accessible way, and deal with the basics as well as more complex problems. 
    This book may also help more advanced programmers expand their skills. 
    Book three: 
    This book is like a friend who advises and guides you on how to use the ggplot2 package for making data visualizations. With this book, you will learn how to get started with data visualization in R. You will learn basic concepts of graphics, and you will also learn how to perform statistical analyses. 
    Think of R as a programming language that provides access to the power of machine learning and statistical computing. It's software used by statisticians and data scientists, with its capabilities in statistics, data visualization, machine learning, and more.

    A great deal has been written about Steve Jobs and Apple. Not nearly as much has been produced about Bill Gates and Microsoft, especially in the ten-year period that Dave Jaworski was at Microsoft. Microsoft was the company that drove the hardest and built the fastest. He was there during this rapid rise to the top. Dave kept meticulous notes and took lots of photos and documented the risks taken, the dreams shared, the lessons learned, the hopes realized, and the mistakes made. Many of the issues at the time are similar to issues confronting leaders in business today. All can learn from Microsoft’s past.   Dave also details several secrets—some only his family knows. Some of these secrets were known to only a handful of people within the company at a time when it went through its explosive growth period: like the secret recipe for Coca-Cola or Colonel Sanders’ chicken recipe, these secrets were literally changing the competitive landscape in the technology industry and were rewriting the business rules of the day. Understanding these secrets and the thinking behind them can provide strategic insights and advantages to professionals and their businesses. Better still, they can help them define their own secrets to accelerate them past competitors and over hurdles to success.
