The visual display of quantitative information
This book explains the principles, techniques and vocabulary needed to translate figures and data into effective graphics. Modern data graphics can do much more than simply substitute for small statistical tables. At their best, graphics are instruments for reasoning about quantitative information. Often the most effective way to describe, explore, and summarize a very large set is to look at pictures of those numbers. This book contains 250 illustrations of the best (and a few of the worst) statistical charts, graphics, and tables, with a detailed analysis of how to display quantitative data for precise, quick, effective analysis
