Better Data Visualizations

Excellent book for data visualisation basics

Pages falling off….

The care and craftsmanship that went into *every single page* of this book is just astounding. Wonderfully written in an accessible style, this book delivers. The print quality is absolutely fantastic, every page is colorful and glossy, which makes it a joy to handle. It's so wonderful to come across something that is so well done, so on point, that you want to make sure anyone thinking of buying it takes the plunge.

Cengages böcker är alltid av högsta kvalitet, bland de absolut bästa i världen, tycker jag.

Better Data Visualizations is a great reference for any data focused individual. Jon does a great job of breaking down the where, when, why, and how of modern visualization. A highly recommended read for those looking to increase their knowledge on these topics.

The book contains hundreds of charts encompassing loads of different chart types. The book has been well organised into different sections. You can either read cover to cover or just find the specific type of chart you are looking for e.g time, qualitative, geostationary etc. On top of displaying interesting charts, it also describes how to choose between each one for your data as well as best practices and design tips. 100% I would recommend as a companion guide to chart selection and design.

This book is a fantastic resource for bridging the gap between academic theory and practical application. I've recently applied it to transform a basic Power BI matrix into something truly outstanding, following the ten critical steps outlined in chapter 11. It's brimming with valuable insights, all underpinned by solid research. An early issue with the book involved pages detaching, which affected my copy as well. However, a quick message to the author resulted in a replacement being swiftly dispatched. Such responsiveness deserves commendation. Ultimately, it's the content that truly matters, not the initial hiccups with the printing. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to enhance their visualization capabilities.
