From a guest reviewer, USA
<2009-06-09 00:00>
I think the fellow from Indiana misses the point. This bookhelps people to understand how to communicate ideas with charts. Inthe process, lots of hand-drawn charts are shown. Sure, Excel and similar programs can make them prettier, but the point is understanding what kind of chart is best for making a specific substantive point. No program can make that judgement, and too many people let software pick the chart format with predictably uninformative results. Students, excutives, etc., who work through this book will know what kind of a chart they really need. That knowledge in hand, turn to Excel or whatever to produce presentation quality graphics. In some cases, the data will have to be transformed in ways you might not have anticipated before the right graph can be produced. This is a great book, certainly the best and clearest introduction to statistical graphs I have seen. I also strongly recommend Tufte's books on effective graphics. |
