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. One of the best books you will ever see. A tour de force. The century's best book on statistical graphics.

Beautifully illustrated with in-depth insight and research. Rating - Just the facts, ma'am (and how to present them) Mr. Tufte's book is like nothing I ever read before.

Tufte really opens your mind and makes you aware of the possibly malevolent or just misleading representations of data we are faced with every day on magazines, newspapers, TV and the web. see more reviews See all books by author Edward R.
