While everyone is talking about "big data," the truth is that understanding the "little data" (stock reports, newspaper headlines, weather forecasts, etc.) is what will help you make smarter decisions at work, at home, and in every aspect of your life. The average person consumes approximately 30 gigabytes of data every single day, but has no idea how to interpret it correctly. Everydata explains, through the eyes of an expert economist and statistician, how to correctly interpret all of the small bytes of data we consume in a day. Readers will become effective, skeptical consumers of everyday data. Everydata is filled with countless examples of people misinterpreting data-oftentimes with catastrophic results: Millions of women avoid caffeine during pregnancy because they interpret correlation as causation The initial launch of HealthCare.gov failed in part because key decision-makers couldn't observe all of the data A baby food company was investigated by the Federal Trade Commission for cherry picking data Attorneys faced a $1 billion jury verdict because of outlier data The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded because the engineers were dealing with a limited sample set Hedge fund companies claim they can make smarter predictions-but the market data says otherwise. Each chapter of Everydata highlights one commonly misunderstood data concept, using both real-world and hypothetical examples from a wide range of topics, including business, politics, advertising, law, engineering, retail, parenting, and more. Readers will get the answer to the question, "Now what?", along with concrete ways they can use this information to immediately start making smarter decisions, today and every day.

We went to Lincoln Ristorante, one of Manhattan's ritziest restaurants, to chat with head chef Jonathan Benno about the intricacies of homemade pasta and the art of modern italian food. Before opening Lincoln Ristorante in 2010, Benno worked with Thomas Keller at The French Laundry in Napa Valley and at New York's Per Se. It's fitting that, for this episode of Munchies, Benno chose to visit chef Nick Kim, who trained under Masa Takayama and then worked across the hall from Per Se as the head chef of Masa. We had some of the best sushi we've ever had—and some of the best food we've featured on this show, period—at Kim's restaurant, Neta. After enjoying a 15-course omakase with Benno, his sous chef Chung Chow, and Mac Truck owner Dominick Tesoriero, we headed north for a beer at Peter McManus Cafe and then a late-night tripe cutlet sandwich at Lincoln. This is New York fine dining with two of the most important fine dining players. Enjoy.

In The Expectation of Justice Megan Koreman traces the experiences of three small French towns during the troubled months of the Provisional Government following the Liberation in 1944. Her descriptions of the towns' different wartime and postwar experiences contribute to a fresh depiction of mid-century France and illustrate the failure of the postwar government to adequately serve the interests of justice. As the first social history of the "après -Libération" period from the perspective of ordinary people, Koreman's study reveals how citizens of these towns expected legal, social, and honorary justice-such as punishment for collaborators, fair food distribution, and formal commemoration of patriots, both living and dead. Although the French expected the Resistance's Provisional Government to act according to local understandings of justice, its policies often violated local sensibilities by instead pursuing national considerations. Koreman assesses both the citizens' eventual disillusionment and the social costs of the "Resistencialist myth" propagated by the de Gaulle government in an effort to hold together the fragmented postwar nation. She also suggests that the local demands for justice created by World War II were stifled by the Cold War, since many people in France feared that open opposition to the government would lead to a Communist takeover. This pattern of nationally instituted denial and suppression made it difficult for citizens to deal effectively with memories of wartime suffering and collaborationist betrayal. Now, with the end of the Cold War, says Koreman, memories of postwar injustices are resurfacing, and there is renewed interest in witnessing just and deserved closure. This social history of memory and reconstruction will engage those interested in history, war and peace issues, contemporary Europe, and the twentieth century.
