证析
《证析:大数据与基于证据的决策》的主题是Analytics,作者将一个英文新词Analytics译为“证析”借以指代在这个时代背景下对证据尤其是量化证据进行分析以影响决策的具体实践。《证析:大数据与基于证据的决策》更多关注数据对商业与社会领域决策的影响。《证析:大数据与基于证据的决策》在前言部分之外,分为上下两编。上编对证析所处的时代背景、证析对传统决策方式的挑战、证析在企业中的应用案例进行介绍,并着重介绍了实验在指导社会实践中的思想和实例。下编主要从证析对企业的价值、为了发挥证析的价值而在企业组织架构、考核体系、决策流程、组织文化等方面应有的考虑。除了介绍最新的管理思想与企业实践之外,因为证析的着眼点是数字与决策,所以贯穿全书也不可避免会涉及对科学研究方法的探讨。 -

A Concise Introduction to Logic
Unsurpassed for its clarity and comprehensiveness, A CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC has established itself as the standard for introductory logic texts. In this Tenth Edition, Hurley continues to build upon the tradition of lucid, focused, and accessible presentations of logic's basic topics - both formal and informal. This edition also augments the book's successful technology integration with an updated and enhanced version of CengageNOW, which now includes Learning Logic tutorials, video clips, and the complete text in eBook format. In response to market feedback and the success of Wadsworth's Logical Choice custom program, this text has been reformatted to provide additional flexibility to customize your course material content. Wadsworth is a part of Cengage Learning. Finally, innovative new tools including a PowerLecture presentation tool and a Community Website are designed to help you manage, create, and teach your course more efficiently and effectively. -
Thing Explainer
Have you ever tried to read up on some incredible part of the world, only to find yourself faced with incomprehensible terminology and jargon? It’s nice to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it’s even more interesting to know what they do. What if you had something that could clearly explain it all using simple words? Thing Explainer, by Randall Munroe, does just that. Using line drawings and only the thousand (or, rather, “ten hundred”) most common words, he provides simple explanations for some of the world’s most interesting things: our food-heating radio boxes (microwaves), our very tall roads (bridges), and our computer buildings (datacenters). He also explains the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), and even the stuff inside us (cells). Where do these things come from? How do they work? What do they look like if you open them up? What would life be like without them? And what would happen if we heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or pressed this button? In Thing Explainer, Munroe gives us the answers to these questions and so many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone—age 5 to 105—who has ever wondered how things work, and why. -
