For three decades, Rick Smolan—a former  Time, Life  and  National Geographic photographer—has taken global cultural snapshots through his Day in the Life  series of coffee table books that explore a time capsule of activity involving a country, discipline, or issue. The projects—produced by the New York-based Against All Odds Productions—which Smolan runs with wife and co-author, Jennifer Erwitt, and COO Katya Able, take around 18 months and involve upwards of 200 writers and photographers around the globe. Their latest book,  The Human Face of Big Data , out this week, takes a more encompassing approach to a topic than its predecessors.

It would also address the shortage of highly-qualified and experienced teachers at institutes by providing all students and teachers access to the best teachers and trainers. The software would provide a platform for social collabor...
