Synopsis:
This book takes the reader on an eye-opening tour of the methods and history of presenting data by visual means, showing one how to be both a better producer and consumer of graphics. It sheds light on how well-done graphic representations illuminate subtle and significant elements of the information they represent, and how poorly-conceived graphical devices can misrepresent and distort facts and data. 152 illus.

"This extraordinary book provides a journey through the jungle of good and bad graphical devices used to illustrate and obfuscate data. The diversity of examples is tremendous: ranging from Napoleon's retreat from Moscow to the O-rings on the space shuttle and from mortalities in hospitals to the schedules of buses. The author's aim is to illustrate how effectively a well-chosen graphic can reveal in an instant the essential truth behind some data whilst a poorly designed representation can conceal an awful truth." 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed.
