Congratulations to Dr Usha Mujoo Munshi Madam on her new book "Data Science Landscape: Towards Research Standards and Protocol" published by Springer. The Work is an eminent and one of the rarest ones as a tome in the tryst with Data quest, research mores and primarily research methodology. It includes a sincere quest on RM along with imaginative ramblings on Simulacra and Jean Baudrillard. It interestingly and eminently deals with myriad structures and narratives on Data Science along with significant themes such as Data infrastructure, and the utility of the Data citation protocols. The Matrix like nature of the visualizations of Data and streaming too have been taken into cognisanze with an artist's and innovator's eyes. It also includes innovative pieces such as the utility of Big Data in Astronomy along with issues such as tactics of Activist Data Archiving. Also as an attendant segment contributions dwell upon the issues of Big Data Management in Nuclear Science. The compendium is very authentic and variedly inspiring in nature and content.
