Visual Revelations: Graphical Tales of Fate and Deception from Napoleon Bonaparte to Ross Perot - Hardcover
Synopsis
This is a journey through the jungle of good and bad graphical devices used to illustrate and mystify data. The diversity of examples ranges from Napoleon's retreat from Moscow to the O-rings on the space shuttle, and from mortalities in hospitals to bus schedules. The author illustrates how a well-chosen graphic can reveal in an instant the essential truth behind some data, whilst a poorly-designed representation can be used to conceal the awful truth. As well as providing examples of both, the author includes suggestions designed to help all his readers become better producers and consumers of graphics.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A sharp copy. My photo should show the yellow as brighter; it really is bright! Not as good as Tufte, they say, but it still looks interesting, and the bibliography is worth having. Overseas shipping will probably require a little extra postage. Thank you!
