The book has now been published by Cambridge University Press. The publisher is offering a 20% discount to anyone who buys the hardcopy Here. By agreement with the publisher, you can still download it free from this page. Cambridge Press does, however, retain copyright on the work, and we expect that you will obtain their permission and acknowledge our authorship if you republish parts or all of it. We are sorry to have to mention this point, but we have evidence that other items we have published on the Web have been appropriated and republished under other names. It is easy to detect such misuse, by the way, as you will learn in Chapter 3.
Below is a draft, evolving version of the MMDS book. We have added Jure Leskovec as a coauthor, and at this point added only one new chapter, on mining large graphs. However, we will be making available new chapters on large-scale machine-learning algorithms and dimensionality reduction.
There is a revised Chapter 2 that treats map-reduce programming in a manner closer to how it is used in practice, rather than how it was described in the original paper. Chapter 2 also has new material on algorithm design techniques for map-reduce.

It's got some math in it as it can't be otherwise but it is a very approachable book even by non-technical personnel.
