Product description
Review
The book is a refreshingly witty guide to data visualisation that entertains while it educates. It offers a clear and easy to follow process illustrated through a dizzying range of examples. It’s a great combination of design principles and real-world lessons learnt through actual projects. Fun, accurate, erudite and teeming with useful nuggets of information - very much like some of their best data visualisations! -- Emma Whitehead Published On: 2021-11-16
