Praise for
The Real Work of Data Science
These two authors are world-class experts on analytics, data management, and data quality;
they’ve forgotten more about these topics than most of us will ever know. Their book is
pragmatic, understandable, and focused on what really counts. If you want to do data science
in any capacity, you need to read it.

updated to reflect today’s issues, such as computational big data.

I am already in love with your book based on the overview and preface!! What a creative
approach! Speaks a lot to your ability to tell a good story – one of the key ways of reasoning
for a good data scientist!

The root causes of business failures typically are management, not technology. In today’s
complex and changing digital world, the advice in The Real Work of Data Science is essential.
Read it and do it.
