Dark Data explores the many ways in which we can be blind to missing data and how that can lead us to conclusions and actions that are mistaken, dangerous, or even disastrous. Examining a wealth of real-life examples, from the Challenger shuttle explosion to complex financial frauds, Hand gives us a practical taxonomy of the types of dark data that exist and the situations in which they can arise, so that we can learn to recognize and control for them.

Who are we, and how did we get here?

Willst du was für den Klimaschutz tun, musst du deinen CO2-Fußabdruck reduzieren - so die gängige Auffassung: regional einkaufen, LED-Lampen verwenden, weniger konsumieren... Doch die bittere Wahrheit ist, mit individuellen CO2-Spartipps werden wir die Erderhitzung nicht stoppen. Schluss mit der Ohnmacht!

From the historic junior doctor strikes to the 'humanitarian crisis' declared by the Red Cross, the overstretched health service is on the precipice.

Where is the best place to find life beyond Earth? We often look to Mars as the most promising site in our solar system, but recent scientific missions have revealed that some of the most habitable real estate may actually lie farther away.

Could there be organisms living in their depths?
