About this title

Synopsis

This book is about the design of statistical graphics. It is also about how to communicate information through the simutlaneous presentation of words, numbers, and pictures.

Review

A timeless classic in how complex information should be presented graphically. The Strunk & White of visual design. Should occupy a place of honor--within arm's reach--of everyone attempting to understand or depict numerical data graphically. The design of the book is an exemplar of the principles it espouses: elegant typography and layout, and seamless integration of lucid text and perfectly chosen graphical examples. Very Highly Recommended.
