Hands-On Data Visualization

A course book on turning analysis into a message an audience will act on. Covers choosing the right chart for the question, dashboard design, storytelling with data, and the visual choices that mislead readers without anyone noticing.

Jennie Mitchell and Trent Deckard

An edited collection on what data visualizations actually do once they reach the public: how people read them, how newsrooms build them, and what gets lost in the translation from dataset to picture. Strong on the ethics and politics of visual data.

Martin Engebretsen and Helen Kennedy
