Visual Revelations: Graphical Tales of Fate and Deception from Napoleon Bonaparte to Ross Perot
Howard Wainer
This extraordinary book provides a journey through the jungle of good and bad graphical devices used to illustrate and obfuscate data. The author's aim is to illustrate how effectively a well-chosen graphic can reveal in an instant the essential truth behind some data whilst a poorly designed representation can conceal an awful truth.
