Description

Most presentations of quantitative information are poorly designed—painfully so, regularly to the point of misinformation. This problem, then again, is rarely noticed and even more rarely addressed. We use tables and graphs to keep in touch quantitative information: the critical numbers that measure the health, identify the opportunities, and forecast the way forward for our organizations. Even the most productive information is useless, then again, if its story is poorly told. This problem exists because almost no one has ever been trained to design tables and graphs for effective and efficient communication. Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten is the most accessible, practical, and comprehensive guide to table and graph design to be had.

The second one edition of Show Me the Numbers improves on the first by polishing the content right through (including up to date figures) and adding 91 more pages of content, including: 1) A new preface; 2) A new chapter entitled “Silly Graphs That Are Best Forsaken,” which alerts readers to one of the most current misuses of graphs such as donut charts, circle charts, unit charts, and funnel charts; 3) A new chapter about quantitative narrative entitled “Telling Compelling Stories with Numbers”; and 4) New appendices entitled “Constructing Table Lens Displays in Excel,” “Constructing Box Plots in Excel,” and “Useful Color Palettes.”
