Book Reviews of Beautiful Evidence
Book Review: Visual Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one many Tufte wrote concerning the usefull display of information. The graphs and pictures are amazing. The author describes both good and poor use of graphs and tables for displaying data. This book is a great tool for any one making reports or presentations with visual information.Book Review: Weak
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are looking for guidance on metrics presentation or insight, pass right by this book. The pictures are nice enough I suppose; but there are many, many, and I mean many, other books, Tufte's included, that are significantly more worthwhile.Book Review: highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
this was a gift for my father who is an artist and my step-mom who is a writer and literature professor, and they both went wild over the book. they said it was one of the most original, beautiful, intriguing books they'd ever seen.Book Review: Tufte strikes again
Summary: 5 Stars
Up to Tufte's outstanding level. A motherlode of information, tips, guidelines, magnificently and very appropriately illustrated.
Hardly ever does one come across such perfectly designed books.
Book Review: Great author, Bad book
Summary: 1 Stars
Buy his other three books. This book is a rehash of older material. There are not enough new examples. I'm surprised he let it go to print. This is a very big disappointment for me.
