Before his first day of high school wrestling, he checked out a stack of books on technique from the library and practiced on his not-terribly-enthusiastic little sister. Then he spent the first few minutes of tryouts kicking the butts of other newbies, until the experienced wrestlers realized how much fun it would be to kick his. Within a few months, he became a decent wrestler, but he always stayed a bit ahead of the other newbies because of those books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis life has consisted of gleefully going through that process over and over again in completely unrelated fields. Naturally, he's a Head First fanatic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil recently Michael spent most of time looking at databases to help nonprofit organizations figure out how to make more money. He has a degree in philosophy from New College of Florida and one in religious ethics from Yale University. When he's not in the library or the bookstore, you can find him in-line skating, taking pictures, and brewing beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 483\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 9.16 x 7.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45396145143910,"sku":"9780596153939","price":69.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/N0pOdTdnZUU3aWVYM3lvYXhDdXV1QT09.webp?v=1775321204","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/head-first-data-analysis-a-learners-guide-to-big-numbers-statistics-and-good-decisions-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
