Social Physics
From one of the world's leading data scientists, a landmark tour of the new science of idea flow, offering revolutionary insights into the mysteries of collective intelligence and social influence If the Big Data revolution has a presiding genius, it is MIT's Alex "Sandy" Pentland. Over years of groundbreaking experiments, he has distilled remarkable discoveries significant enough to become the bedrock of a whole new scientific field: social physics. Humans have more in common with bees than we like to admit: We're social creatures first and foremost. Our most important habits of action-and most basic notions of common sense-are wired into us through our coordination in social groups. Social physics is about idea flow, the way human social networks spread ideas and transform those ideas into behaviors. Thanks to the millions of digital bread crumbs people leave behind via smartphones, GPS devices, and the Internet, the amount of new information we have about human activity is truly profound. Until now, sociologists have depended on limited data sets and surveys that tell us how people say they think and behave, rather than what they actually do. As a result, we've been stuck with the same stale social structures-classes, markets-and a focus on individual actors, data snapshots, and steady states. Pentland shows that, in fact, humans respond much more powerfully to social incentives that involve rewarding others and strengthening the ties that bind than incentives that involve only their own economic self-interest. Pentland and his teams have found that they can study patterns of information exchange in a social network without any knowledge of the actual content of the information and predict with stunning accuracy how productive and effective that network is, whether it's a business or an entire city. We can maximize a group's collective intelligence to improve performance and use social incentives to create new organizations and guide them through disruptive change in a way that maximizes the good. At every level of interaction, from small groups to large cities, social networks can be tuned to increase exploration and engagement, thus vastly improving idea flow. Social Physics will change the way we think about how we learn and how our social groups work-and can be made to work better, at every level of society. Pentland leads readers to the edge of the most important revolution in the study of social behavior in a generation, an entirely new way to look at life itself.- Shop: buecher

Prelude
Announcing the release of 'Prelude', SF jazz vocalist Milla Milojkovic's sophomore CD. Milla is a San Francisco-based singer that possesses the unique ability to deliver shy and gutsy in the same breath, using her empathic abilities to affect her audience to it's core. In Prelude, Milla maximizes the talent of her recording band, led by pianist Adam Shulman. Dayna Stephens' dreamy sax solos wail over the burnin' rhythm section (John Wiitala on bass and Tim Bulkley on drums) revealing new ideas in an old setting. Guitarist Bob Brumbeloe joins the group for a couple tunes, upping the cool factor considerably with his groovy sound. At the heart of it all is the voice of Milla. She delivers with sex appeal, sorrow, sass, and intensity. Her sound is educated and inspired. Milla's warm, sultry tone translates effortlessly between genres, also exemplified in Prelude. From smoky bossas to fearless blues, her style is distinct and her interpretations soulful. The CD features imaginative arrangements of well-represented classics, in addition to the lesser-known gems she digs up and just has to share. Of her new CD Prelude, Milla comments, "If I had to picture someone listening to this CD, I would hope they'd be near a lover and a fireplace." '[Milla] sings with admirably good taste, keen sense of time and implacable intonation . . . . Her emotional colors warm and animate her soulful interpretations" -Dr. Herb Wong, famed jazz journalist/producer "Milla stands out with a beautiful vocal sound....This woman has real feeling in her singing." -Larry Vuckovich, jazz pianist 'Milla is an emissary from another era -- her music, her lingo, her style. She evokes experiences certainly beyond her years. Must be that Balkan soul.' -Bruce Bellingham, SF Examiner.- Shop: odax
