Data visualisation: how Alberto Cairo creates a functional art by Simon Rogers.
From the post:
It’s not enough for visualisations to string the correct numbers together, they should – in the words of William Morris – be beautiful and useful.
And one of the leading experts in making data beautiful is Alberto Cairo – who teaches information graphics and visualisation at the University of Miami’s School of Communication.
His latest book, The Functional Art, is a comprehensive guide not only to how to do it; but how to get it right, too. And, if you’re interested in data visualisation, you must not only read this but absorb each of the lessons he teaches so patiently.
Definitely one for the wish list at Amazon!
