Tipping Points as evidenced in global events are, in many ways,
influenced by media. DATA MINING for predicting and analyzing world
events. This just released, ground-breaking book: DATA MINING:
PREDICTING TIPPING POINTS by Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D, details three
case studies which were selected on the basis of common Tipping
Point Attributes: Each involved media contagiousness and stickiness
during their development and, each arrived at a "dramatic moment in
time," which could only be characterized by the phenomenon of
Tipping Points. Three recent case studies explore the leading edge
technologies of DATA MINING and the theory of TIPPING POINTS: The
first case study, the 2008 Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama
was chosen to examine a narrower scope and timeframe for the
application of the analysis. In contrast to the second case study,
the International Financial Crisis of 2007-2010, which involves a
broader data study period to identify trends and more complex
issues. The third study, Climate Change was included as
consideration because the data mining research and analysis
revealed critical relationships between Media Impact and Global
Events. As the issue of Climate Change is still evolving, Dr Gordon
provides a Data Mining and Tipping Point Theory methodology for
analyzing and predicting our planets' most pressing Global Tipping
Points. Review Comments: "The genius of the formulation of DATA
MINING: PREDICTING TIPPING POINTS is that it takes explicit account
of the role of social media and the internet at facilitating
bifurcations and promoting dynamical instability. In effect, we
have trimmed a few feet of tail off the kite. As a reader, I was
informed and educated as to the factors which conspire to influence
stability / instability in complex social systems. ...the book does
a good job of making sense of past bifurcations and dynamical
instabilities, namely political instability, our perception of
global climate change, and international economic crises...my
compliments on a truly insightful Media Tipping Points." -Prof. Dr.
(med.) Peter S. Geissler, A.B., B.S., M.S., M.Phil., Ph.D. (Yale)
M.A., M.Eng., M.S., Ph.D., M.S., M.D., M.Phil.(Cantab) "A truly
fascinating book that (teaches) a whole new way of thinking about
major events and how the media can influence them. - Being a
political junkie I was heavily into the media coverage of the 2008
Obama election and the global financial meltdown both via TV and
the blogosphere. I now find myself looking for the tipping points
and stickiness factors as other key events unfold. Usually, I have
trouble reading theoretical books but this one was an easy read and
if you want supporting data then the references are there. This
could become a solid reference for those in the media who truly
want to understand what they are reporting. Highly recommended and
I look forward to Dr. Gordon's ongoing analysis of (future)
events." -Dr. Ralph Moorhouse, Ph.D. Political junkie, Expert:
natural polymers for industries "The application of Data Mining and
Tipping Point Theory to media and global events, particularly the
financial crisis and climate change, is a fascinating one." -Dr.
Serge Besanger, PhD Expert, International Monetary Fund ..".very
interesting application (of the Tipping Point Theory)...potential
opportunity for predicting other global events, i.e.: Egyptian
crisis and perhaps, even terrorism activities." -Dr. Adam AJLANI,
PhD Professor, Sciences Politic and Political Consultant, France
