Critics Review
A very good account for students of the different ways that data can be visualised, which is something that they are not always aware of. – Dr Clive Sealey
I had the older version as the essential reading book, and now I just updated to this one. I just love this book. It speaks to me, the examples are so good. The only thing I do not use are the working material as I prefer to set my own exams etc. – Dr Elisavet Andrikopoulou
Hi there this is an extremely comprehwensive text very well laid out asnfd I can see it being of grweat benefit o my students, especially when they are working in their main roles. there are too few decent books on data visualisation, so we see the same mistakes being made time and timne again. oproperly formatted data helps with comprehension of complex issues, and properly visually formatted data can be the difference in an audience′s understanding of complex points. As well as asdding this title to the recommended reasding, I will be urging any of my students working in data heavy roles to digest the key points of this text. – Professor Sanjeev Gupta
