{"product_id":"visual-revelations-howard-wainer-9781461274865","title":"Visual Revelations: Graphical Tales of Fate and Deception from Napoleon Bonaparte to Ross Perot","description":"This extraordinary book provides a journey through the jungle of good and bad graphical devices used to illustrate and obfuscate data. The diversity of examples is tremendous: ranging from Napoleon's retreat from Moscow to the O-rings on the space shuttle and from mortalities in hospitals to the schedules of buses. The author's aim is to illustrate how effectively a well-chosen graphic can reveal in an instant the essential truth behind some data whilst a poorly designed representation can conceal an awful truth. As well as providing numerous examples of both, the author includes plenty of helpful ideas to make us all better producers and consumers of graphics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Wainer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461274869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461274865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copernicus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.43d","brand":"Howard Wainer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425270317311,"sku":"9781461274865","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d7c6c91-896e-4b5a-a1a3-c3c6c9ce51c6.jpg?v=1761538104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visual-revelations-howard-wainer-9781461274865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
