5.0 out of 5 stars Another beautiful blockbuster from Tufte, 1 Sep 2000
By Matthew Leitch (Epsom, Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
This is another book that beautifully conveys some powerful advice. I found the detailed case studies of an epidemic in old London, and the Challenger disaster were particularly persuasive and useful.

Applied to management information, these arguments make the point that presentation of information can make the difference between worthless reports and illuminating reports.

Since some information systems are very costly to implement, it makes sense to ensure the final presentation justifies the investment, instead of wasting it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good examples nicely embedded in the text, 27 Nov 1999
By A Customer
Very good illustrations, comfortable colours, fonts, layout and well-designed book in itself. It was very entertaining as well as providing useful ideas on graphic design. It is a great pleasure to read a book like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, thought provoking and beautiful., 12 May 2001
By A Customer
This is a inspiring and beautiful book which opened up new horizons for me,sharpened my thinking and presentation and made me see information in a completely different light. A book where art and science meet. If only I had been taught by Professor Tufte!

Tufte is pure genius. I own pretty much all of his work. The book is strewn with terrific stories and illustrations about the use of data and how to tell the best stories. Read more
