A Ridiculous Man
The election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States in 2016 was a pivotal moment not just for America but for the world. A celebrity rather than a politician, Trump promised to turn politics on its head – and he did. But was he an aberration or did he represent a continuity of forces already in play?

The Visual Organization
The era of Big Data as arrived, and most organizations are woefully unprepared. Slowly, many are discovering that stalwarts like Excel spreadsheets, KPIs, standard reports, and even traditional business intelligence tools aren't sufficient. These old standbys can't begin to handle today's increasing streams, volumes, and types of data. Amidst all of the chaos, though, a new type of organization is emerging. In The Visual Organization, award-winning author and technology expert Phil Simon looks at how an increasingly number of organizations are embracing new dataviz tools and, more important, a new mind-set based upon data discovery and exploration. Simon adroitly shows how Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other tech heavyweights use powerful data visualization tools to garner fascinating insights into their businesses. But make no mistake: these companies are hardly alone. Organizations of all types, industries, sizes are representing their data in new and amazing ways. As a result, they are asking better questions and making better business decisions. Rife with real-world examples and case studies, The Visual Organization is a full-color tour-de-force.
Herbert Raymond McMaster
Herbert Raymond McMaster was born on July 24, 1962, in Philadelphia, a city known for its deep historical roots and vibrant culture. From an early age, McMaster exhibited a keen interest in history and military affairs, an interest that would shape his life and career in profound ways. McMaster's journey into the world of military strategy began when he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. Graduating in 1984, he embarked on a military career that would see him become one of the most respected figures in the United States Army. His early service was marked by a fierce commitment to duty and an unyielding intellectual curiosity, qualities that would define his future roles. During the Gulf War, then-Captain McMaster found himself in the heat of battle as the commander of Eagle Troop, 2nd Cavalry Regiment. It was here, during the Battle of 73 Easting, that McMaster's leadership and tactical acumen came to the fore. His actions in this pivotal tank battle against Iraqi forces earned him widespread recognition and set the stage for his rise through the ranks.
