Becoming a Data Head: How to Think, Speak, and Understand Data Science, Statistics, and Machine Learning

Was a great book to read, entertaining and factual, clearly based on a lot of experience from the 2 authors Alex and Jordan. I enjoyed their witty comments through out the book bringing it to life and keeping it engaging. It seems to address all the areas I was looking for and at the same time is succinct which is quite rare in these types of books. Also some other amazon reviews from last year, seem to point at section heading misprints. I checked and none of them appeared in my print run of the book so clearly out of date review.

Heard about this book from a fellow Instructor. First chapter is really valuable explanation of possible "client" personalities/perspectives/roles that I highly recommend. All the chapters have solid information and explanations. Really good overview book. We recommend it to our Undergraduate and Masters students.

The book is interesting, but bad quality of print makes it hard to read. Pages numbers and chapter headings are partially missing, so navigating the book is a struggle. It cost me $40+, and I am very disappointed as a reader. For a book that costs that much, I expect a better quality.

You can read it very easy. It is not boring at all as may you assume because it is about statistics. No it is actually pretty exciting

Lots of terrible print error(no page numbers, missing page numbers, missing words, misspelling). Some pages can’t read sue to missing words. Some pages missing titles. So bad. Never seen a book of this bad quality.

Unbelievable amount of serious misprints especially in the last half of the book. Titles to chapters are missing, pages are numbered incorrectly. The above photos are just some examples there are too many to upload.It is a pity as some of the content was good, but the misprints make it so difficult to read and refer to. I didn’t notice straight away as I didn’t start reading it as soon as I got it so I feel I am too late to request a refund, but I have never seen a book that has so many and such bad misprints or mistakes!!!
