Critics Review

This is an enjoyable and informative read from four premier data visualisation experts. Grounded in their award-winning practice and teaching, the authors offer concrete strategies and a wealth of examples for anyone wishing to create intuitive and engaging data visualisations. – Penny Sheets ThibautThe 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
