Description
A leading expert in data visualization explores how charts can both inform and mislead us. Alberto Cairo examines the ways in which charts can be used to reveal patterns and trends, as well as those that conceal or distort information. From election-result infographics to global GDP maps and box-office record charts, Cairo shows how to identify and interpret good charts, as well as those that are misleading or deceptive. By understanding how to read visual information effectively, we can make sense of the data-driven world around us. This book provides a new literacy for navigating our increasingly data-driven environment, helping us to distinguish between reliable and misleading visual representations.
