Summary

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。

Simone Caldeira

A great book about data viz, with plenty examples of good and bad chart examples。 For me it brought a new perspective on how good design is also important to deliver the message。
