Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook by Eric Rochester.
I don’t have a copy of Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook but strongly suggest that you read the sample chapter before deciding to buy it.
You will find that two chapters, Chapter 6, Working with Incanter Datasets and Chapter 7, Preparing for and Performing Statistical Data Analysis with Incanter out of eleven are focused on Incanter.
The Incanter site, incanter.org, bills itself as “Incanter Data Sorcery.”
If you go to the blog tab, you will find the most recent entry is December 29, 2010.
Twitter tab shows the most recent tweet as July 21, 2012.
The discussion tab does point to recent discussions but since the first of the year (2013) it has been lite.
I am concerned that a March, 2013 title would have two chapters on what appears to not be a very active project.
Particularly in a rapidly moving area like data analysis.
There’s also commit activity at the project’s github page:

You need to look to github repository if you’re trying to evaluate activity of project…
P.S. pull requests are usually accepted very quickly, but David & I don’t have much free time now to develop big features 🙁

Incanter is pretty active. If I remember right, there were several releases during the time that I was writing the book.

Eric, It is more active than I thought but looking at the commit log graphs, there is activity but certainly a lull between 2011 and 2012. As compared to 2010 and 2013. Yes?
But that’s quibbling.
On the other hand, is the activity of a project to be judged by its participants or by its users?
Not just this project, but any project.
