Customer Reviews
Superceded by Excel? NOT!! - Rated I think the fellow from Indiana misses the point. This bookhelps people to understand how to communicate ideas with charts. In the process, lots of hand-drawn charts are shown. Sure, Excel and similar programs can make them prettier, but the point is understanding what kind of chart is best for making a specific substantive point. No program can make that judgement, and too many people let software pick the chart format with predictably uninformative results. Students, excutives, etc., who work through this book will know what kind of a chart they really need. That knowledge in hand, turn to Excel or whatever to produce presentation quality graphics. In some cases, the data will have to be transformed in ways you might not have anticipated before the right graph can be produced. This is a great book, certainly the best and clearest introduction to statistical graphs I have seen. I also strongly recommend Tufte's books on effective graphics. Is a real good support to say your ideas to other people - Rated It helps you to structure your ideas in order to communicate them to others. I think that it's realy good. Superceded by Excel's charting capabilities - Rated This book has been completely superceded by the detailed charting capabilities of Excel. It might have been useful ten years ago (when it was first written) but today it seems like a dinosaur. Excel can do everything better. Moreover, even the familiar charts seem untidy by today's standards. Mr. Zelazny seems to be a creative soul. Witness his website on creating a chessboard. I am sure his thinking has advanced in the last decade. His next book promises to be interesting (if he writes one). This one is worse than a yawn. It should be withdrawn, before it besmirches his name further. Buy It!!! - Rated If you have to make presentations or translate large amounts of information, this is a wonderful step-by-step approach. It really helps to focus your message and reach your customers.
