Description

How Charts Work  brings the secrets of effective data visualisation in a way that will help you bring data alive.

Charts, graphs and tables are essential devices in business, but all too often they present information poorly. This book will help you:

  • Feel confident understanding different types of charts, graphs and tables – and how to read them
  • Recognise the true story behind the data presented and what the information really shows
  • Know the principles and rules of how best to represent information so you can create your own information-driven (and beautiful) visuals
  • Design visuals that people engage with, understand and act upon

    • Don't value design over information – present data persuasively.
