There has never been a universal algebra of data. Mathematics has been widely employed by software in many ways: numerical analysis, statistics, algorithms, mathematical modeling, and so on, but it has never been used to formally define data in all its variety.
This changed when mathematical research into data algebra--carried out for Algebraix Data Corporation by one of the authors of this book--matured and was tested in an extensive range of data management, data integration, and performance optimization contexts. The purpose of this book is to explain that data algebra.

This third volume of Naturally Hypernatural explores contemporary concepts of landscape in the humanities and the arts in relation to the notion that our age is defined by a geology of the human and that this reckoning constitutes a new epoch, aptly named the anthropocene. The thesis of this volume that there is no homogeneous concept of landscape, just as there is no uniform definition of nature or culture was developed concurrently at a conference at the University of Graz and at a series of exhibitions centered on film, painting and photography at the Kunsthaus Graz. This...
