This fascinating study examines the discourse of science in Japan from the 1920s to the 1940s in relation to nationalism and imperialism. How did Japan, with Shinto creation mythology at the absolute core of its national identity, come to promote the advancement of science and technology? Using what logic did wartime Japanese embrace both the rationality that denied and the nationalism that promoted this mythology? Focusing on three groups of science promoters—technocrats, Marxists, and popular science proponents—this work demonstrates how each group made sense of apparent contradictions by articulating its politics through different definitions of science and visions of a scientific Japan. The contested, complex political endeavor of talking about and promoting science produced what the author calls "scientific nationalism," a powerful current of nationalism that has been overlooked by scholars of Japan, nationalism, and modernity.

Some say we live in the Information Age; others, the Social Age; and still others, the Big Data Age. Regardless of what name we give it, we live in an age that generates monumental amounts of data-in all different kinds of formats. In business, and in our personal lives, we use smartphones and tablets, web sites and watches; with apps and interfaces to shop, learn, entertain and inform. Businesses increasingly use technology to interact with consumers to provide marketing, customer service, product information and more. All of this technological activity generates data, and we're increasingly good at gathering, storing and analyzing it.Data mining can help to identify interesting patterns and messages that exist in data, often hidden beneath the surface. In this modern age of information systems, it is easier than ever before to extract meaning from data. From classification to prediction, data mining can help.In Data Mining for the Masses, Third Edition, professor Matt North-a former risk analyst and software engineer at eBay-uses simple examples and clear explanations with free, powerful software tools to teach you the basics of data mining. In this Third Edition, implementations of these examples are offered in current versions of the RapidMiner software, and in the increasingly popular R Statistical Package.You've got more data than ever before and you know it's got value, if only you can figure out how to get to it. This book can show you how. Let's start digging!

Nietzsche and Freud saw Christianity as metaphysical escapism, with Nietzsche calling the religion a "Platonism for the masses" and faulting Paul the apostle for negating more immanent, material modes of thought and political solidarity. Integrating this debate with the philosophies of difference espoused by Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ward Blanton argues that genealogical interventions into the political economies of Western cultural memory do not go far enough in relation to the imagined founder of Christianity. Blanton challenges the idea of Paulinism as a pop Platonic worldview or form of social control. He unearths in Pauline legacies otherwise repressed resources for new materialist spiritualities and new forms of radical political solidarity, liberating "religion" from inherited interpretive assumptions so philosophical thought can manifest in risky, radical freedom.
