A timeless classic in how complex information should be presented graphically.

Reference

The Strunk & White of visual design.

Should occupy a place of honor--within arm's reach--of everyone attempting to understand or depict numerical data graphically.

The design of the book is an exemplar of the principles it espouses: elegant typography and layout, and seamless integration of lucid text and perfectly chosen graphical examples.

Very Highly Recommended..
