From the Back Cover
PRAISE FOR the art of insight
“Alberto Cairo’s The Art of Insight delves into the lives of numerous designers and what has shaped them. Each chapter showcases stunning examples, but also life stories and the motivations that informed choices. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, but perhaps most importantly, I caught glimpses of myself and my own story.”
―Bridget Cogley, co-author of Functional Aesthetics for Data Visualization and Chief Visualization Officer at Versalytix
“This book is a breath of fresh air following the exhaustion of the pandemic! Cairo has crafted a pragmatic, inspiring reflection on the process and purpose of contemporary data visualization.”
―Catherine D’Ignazio, Associate Professor and Director of the Data + Feminism Lab, MIT, and co-author of Data Feminism
“This book is a much-needed demonstration of the opposite of superficial critique, and the data visualization world will be better off for it.”
―Ben Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of Data Literacy
“Alberto Cairo brings us along on his exploration of the new and different ways designers are visualizing our world. It’s an uplifting journey to get a glimpse into the perspectives and processes of these creative data artists.”
―Randy Krum, visualization designer, author of Cool Infographics: Effective Communication with Data Visualization and Design, and Founder of InfoNewt
“Practitioners of data visualization and storytelling hope to get people to see, understand, and feel differently about data. The Art of Insight has me thinking differently about the field of data visualization and storytelling itself. Cairo’s intimate and caring interviews and commentary are revealing, thought-provoking, and most of all, inspiring.”
―Steve Wexler, Professional chart Looker-atter, co-author of The Big Book of Dashboards, and author of The Big Picture
“Visualization stretches beyond reports and sterile charts to uses more tightly coupled with real life, which is full of beauty, complexity, and stories. With The Art of Insight, Alberto Cairo places the full field on display. Learn the design and analysis processes of those in less traditional visualization roles, alongside Alberto’s unique perspective, and your own data work will benefit, wherever that may be.”
―Nathan Yau, statistician, FlowingData.com
