If You Like Pie Charts, Please Buy This Book.

First, I think this book has something to offer to everyone. But if you have already read at least two of Edward Tufte's books on visualizing information, then you are probably better off borrowing and browsing through this book for 20 or 30 minutes rather than purchasing it. The book is mostly derivative of the kind of work Tufte does, so it won't offer a lot of new ideas for readers well-read in the area. The first chapter contains an overview of the history/main issues in dashboard design. The final chapter includes helpful good and bad examples that demonstrate the main ideas introduced in this book. I think anyone can take something away from these sections of the book.
For the rest of you... do you think pie charts are pretty? Do you like those default 3D bar charts in MS Excel? For the sake of everyone you work with, please pick up this book. It's a good overview of issues in this area and you will be better at communicating information if you pay attention to the ideas and study all the examples of this book. |
