Don't simply show your data—tell a story with it!
Storytelling with Data teaches you the fundamentals of data visualization and how to communicate effectively with data. You'll discover the power of storytelling and the way to make data a pivotal point in your story. The lessons in this illuminative text are grounded in theory, but made accessible through numerous real-world examples—ready for immediate application to your next graph or presentation.

Direct your audience's attention to the most important parts of your data
Think like a designer and utilize concepts of design in data visualization
Leverage the power of storytelling to help your message resonate with your audience

以前,觉得图表用Excel画就行了,能有多少讲究? 看了这本书才发现并非如此,对于图表的使用,是可以有很大提升的 视频地址:https://youtu.be/8EMW7io4rSI 这是作者在google关于本书的讲座,可以先看看是否感兴趣,然后再考虑阅读。顺带一提,作者是g出来的,书中内容曾是g的...

用户评价
好书 就算是没有很深数据分析技巧的人也特别适合看
一个主题贯穿全篇,我讨厌饼图,讨厌饼图,讨厌!!!可以一看,化为行动需要列一个自己容易做错的单子,时时提醒
I quickly learned that spending time on the aesthetic piece—something my colleagues didn’t typically do—meant my work gathered more attention from my boss and my boss’s boss. For me, that was the beginning of seeing value in spending time on the visual communication of data.
简单但挺有启发
同事送我的生日礼物,一开始很不屑,心想“为什么送我关于visualization这么基础的书,而不是deep learning什么的”,看了以后发现visualization并不基础,只是我的visualization skills基础。。。作为ds想要influence stakeholders,通过数据讲好故事很重要,总之这本书非常棒!
