Python Data Science Handbook

本書以《Princess and the Pea》為靈感，翻轉經典童話中「過度敏感」的公主形象，帶來一則幽默又帶點當代氣息的愛情故事。Prince Henrik 一心想找到一位與兄長王妃截然不同的伴侶——不嬌弱、不怕苦，最好熱愛戶外活動。於是，他將傳統的豌豆測試改成更「實際」的方法：把一整包冷凍豌豆塞進露營用的薄墊下，考驗前來求婚的公主們。結果，多數公主紛紛抱怨不適，直到 Henrik 的老朋友 Pippa 意外登場。她自在地搭帳篷、打曲棍球，甚至還能巧妙運用那包冷凍豌豆，展現出截然不同的生活態度。故事在輕快節奏中，傳達對多元氣質與真實自我的欣賞。插畫以拼貼、水粉與鉛筆線條構成，比例誇張、風格俏皮，為故事增添獨立電影般的幽默感。本書適合喜歡顛覆童話、欣賞不一樣公主形象的讀者。*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" data-turn="assistant" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-testid="conversation-turn-60" data-turn-id="e03a0c23-03b5-42ec-b40a-1510b5e00568">In this playful, contemporary twist on The Princess and the Pea, Prince Henrik decides that traditional princesses are simply too sensitive for his taste. Determined to find a partner who loves the outdoors and isn’t afraid of a little discomfort, he devises a new test: instead of hiding a single pea beneath layers of mattresses, he slips an entire bag of frozen peas under a flimsy camping mat.Princess after princess arrives—and

Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of how they present their research. This book is about understanding this choice, what considerations are important to think about when deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using examples from a range of scientific controversies and thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens - to think carefully about how best science can contribute to policy-making and a healthy democracy.

For many people, having a large family isn’t a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available — from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy.The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease

Who are the men committing the rising number of serial homicides in the U.S. -- and why do they kill? The increase in these violent crimes over the past decade has created an urgent need for more and better information about these men: their crime scene patterns, violent acts, and above all, their motivations for committing these shocking and repetitive murders.This authoritative book represents the data, findings, and implications of a long-term F.B.I.-sponsored study of serial sex killers. Specially trained F.B.I. agents examined thirty-six convicted, incarcerated sexual murderers to build a valuable new bank of information which reveals the world of the serial sexual killer in both quantitative and qualitative detail. Data was obtained from official psychiatric and criminal records, court transcripts, and prison reports, as well as from extensive interviews with the offenders themselves.Featured in this book is detailed information on the F.B.I.'s recently developed Violent Criminal

This book introduces the field of data science in a practical and accessible manner, using a hands-on approach that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. The foundational ideas and techniques of data science are provided independently from technology, allowing students to easily develop a firm understanding of the subject without a strong technical background, as well as being presented with material that will have continual relevance even after tools and technologies change. Using popular data science tools such as Python and R, the book offers many examples of real-life applications, with practice ranging from small to big data. A suite of online material for both instructors and students provides a strong supplement to the book, including datasets, chapter slides, solutions, sample exams and curriculum suggestions. This entry-level textbook is ideally suited to readers from a range of disciplines wishing to build a practical, working knowledge of data science.

Data science libraries, frameworks, modules, and toolkits are great for doing data science, but they’re also a good way to dive into the discipline without actually understanding data science. W
