Envisioning Information

Edward Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative information", published in 1983, was groundbreaking - I have given copies away. This is more discursive, but possibly more entertaining - I have already read it twice.Highly recommended, along with its predecessor, for anyone who has to convey quantitative information in an easy-to-understand fashion. I shall purchase his other publications.

Thanks for the book!Would be 5, but delivery was quite long:(

This is a book about how to lay out information which is full of beautiful information.... It's that simple and yet it is a complex and thought provoking book.... As far away from the election swingometers and PowerPoint slides as it is possible to get....

Brilliant examples of how data can be communicated in picture form. Hard, complex and large volumes of data can be represented in some very simple imagery.Great investement

I bought this to help with dashboard data presentations. This book is great to understand data presentation from a historical standpoint (for this it is superb and very interesting) but as an aide memoir for designing, it isn't that much help. Better to buy the Stephen Few book (Information dashboard design)

a little basic, good for beginners

As described

Just what I want with an affordable price, perfect!
