The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery

I recently came across a free e-book entitled, "The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery," by Microsoft Research, and wanted to commend the book to data analysts and researchers. The book makes a novel and well-illustrated case for the future of data-intensive scientific discovery. The e-book version is available as a free download from the Microsoft Research website linked below, or may be purchased from leading bookstores.
