Data visualization for kids, grown ups, and everyone in between
Data is everywhere—in the weather report, on the back of your cereal box, and in labs, offices, and control rooms around the world. It can hold entire oceans or a single atom, luxurious operas or a humble sneeze, and it's the key to unlocking our past, present and future. But there's a catch: unless you're a computer, it can be hard to wrap your head around data without seeing it for yourself. Thankfully, we have data visualization!
Data visualization uses simple things that we can see—like shapes, colors, patterns, and angles—to show us what we can't see in our data. Stoplights, thermometers, and clocks are all data visualizations, but there are countless others that are as unique as the data they show. This book breaks down the different ways of visualizing data so that you can build your own creations from scratch and make sense of the visualizations around you. With special attention to accessibility and plenty of examples to help you learn, Data Visualization for People of All Ages is your friendly companion to one of today's most essential skills. Perfect for kitchen tables, boardrooms, and classrooms, it has everything you need to start visualizing with confidence.
