gotta love the illustrations - Goodreads They are not about producing beautiful graphics. - Goodreads I look forward to implementing these insights. - Goodreads Spatial orientation. - Goodreads User Review - Flag as inappropriate All 59 reviews »Very interesting subject. Though it doesn't mention software, I'd highly recommend the book to anyone who uses Excel or Powerpoint in their daily lives -- charts and graphics can be powerful tools for presenting information, but can also conceal and confuse it. Tufte is quite an expert on these visual tools, and makes his case with fascinating stories. My only criticism would be a lack of organization to the book. Themes of some chapters don't make much sense ("confections"?) and seem to be just excuses for adding more stories. Great read anyway, though. Related books
