Samenvatting

Every day, at work, home, and school, we are bombarded with vast amounts of free data collected and shared by everyone and everything from our co-workers to our calorie counters. In this highly anticipated follow-up to The Functional Art—Alberto Cairo’s foundational guide to understanding information graphics and visualisation—the respected data visualisation professor explains in clear terms how to work with data, discover the stories hidden within, and share those stories with the world in the form of charts, maps, and infographics. In The Truthful Art, Cairo transforms elementary principles of data and scientific reasoning into tools that you can use in daily life to interpret data sets and extract stories from them.

The Truthful Art explains: The role infographics and data visualisation play in our world Basic principles of data and scientific reasoning that anyone can master How to become a better critical thinker Step-by-step processes that will help you evaluate any data visualisation (including your own) How to create and use effective charts, graphs, and data maps to explain data to any audience
