Description
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Edward R. Tufte is a treatise on the clear, efficient, and elegant design of statistical charts and graphs. Drawing on the history of classic graphs as well as modern examples of graphs both good and bad, Tufte explains the design choices that go into making informative, no-nonsense graphics and rails against simplistic, ugly, and misleading designs. He also introduces vocabulary and concepts that help readers critically evaluate the graphs that they come across in newspapers and magazines and proposes redesigns to common graphs to make them more attractive and information-dense.
