The book looks good. Is there a place I can find the table of contents or reviews of your book?

Here's a table of contents: http://robertaboukhalil.com/book-toc/, hope it helps!

I don't have a formal place for reviews but I posted about it on HN previously and the response seemed positive: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10112615.

The book starts with: "Following the 2008 US elections, all eyes turned to Nate Silver... "

And goes on from there ;)
