Reviews / Votes
"This book offers most excitement and is abound with promise." (Urology News, May/June 2009) "The book casts a fresh light on many issues related to effective data presentation. The questions raised and ideas offered are thought-provoking, innovative and easily implemental ... .It is a small but powerful book which I firmly believe everyone would enjoy while reading in addition to learning." (Academici, April 2009)"This book not only provides an enjoyable read, but also it reminds readers how and how not to display data. I strongly recommend this book for both medical researchers and inter-disciplinary readers, including empirical musicology." (Academici, February 2009)
"This text would be an excellent primer for those who have the computer background for producing graphics but who lack training in the presentation of material." (The American Statistician, February 2009)
"Effective data presentation is an essential skill ... .This should be very helpful to the target audience. Good data presentation should contribute to publication and presentation." (Doody's Book Reviews)
