3. Pre-Owned Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations, (Paperback) 1633690709 9781633690707 Scott Berinato

This is a Pre-Owned book. All our books are in Good or better condition. Format: Paperback Author: Scott Berinato ISBN10: 1633690709 ISBN13: 9781633690707 Dataviz-the new language of business A good visualization can communicate the nature and potential impact of information and ideas more powerfully than any other form of communication. For a long time 'dataviz' was left to specialists-data scientists and professional designers. No longer. A new generation of tools and massive amounts of available data make it easy for anyone to create visualizations that communicate ideas far more effectively than generic spreadsheet charts ever could. Whats more, building good charts is quickly becoming a need-to-have skill for managers. If youre not doing it, other managers are, and theyre getting noticed for it and getting credit for contributing to your companys success. In Good Charts, dataviz maven Scott Berinato provides an essential guide to how visualization works and how to use this new language to impress and persuade. Dataviz today is where spreadsheets and word processors were in the early 1980s-on the cusp of changing how we work. Berinato lays out a system for thinking visually and building better charts through a process of talking, sketching, and prototyping. This book is much more than a set of static rules for making visualizations. It taps into both well-established and cutting-edge research in visual perception and neuroscience, as well as the emerging field of visualization science, to explore why good charts (and bad ones) create 'feelings behind our eyes.' Along the way, Berinato also includes many engaging vignettes of dataviz pros, illustrating the ideas in practice. Good Charts will help you turn plain, uninspiring charts that merely present information into smart, effective visualizations that powerfully convey ideas.
