Books Descriptions
Science and art have in common intense seeing, the wide-eyed
observing that generates visual information. Beautiful Evidence
is about how seeing turns into showing, how data and evidence
turn into explanation. The book identifies excellent and
effective methods for showing nearly every kind of information,
suggests many new designs (including sparklines), and provides
analytical tools for assessing the credibility of evidence
presentations (which are seen from both sides: how to produce
and how to consume presentations). For alert consumers of
presentations, there are chapters on diagnosing evidence
corruption and PowerPoint pitches. Beautiful Evidence concludes
with two chapters that leave the world of pixel and paper
flatland representations - and move onto seeing and thinking in
space land, the real-land of three-space and time.
