The Designer's Guide to Presenting Numbers, Figures, and Charts 1st Edition

I was disappointed. I was hoping for more insights. Don't like the paperback stock. Too simplistic.

This book advises on choices between tables and charts and how to do both effectively. Among tables they usefully distinguish reference tables used for comprehensive data and demonstration tables with selective data. For charts the book covers not just the familiar bar charts, line graphs and pie charts but also the more exotic scatter-plots, radar charts, dashboards, tree maps, flowcharts, organograms, timelines and others. It presents all this in a brief, readable and lively form, full of examples and tips to demonstrate its arguments.Reviewed by William Solesbury, independent consultant on behalf of the SRA.
