Show Me The Numbers, Information Dashboard Design & Now You See It - books by Stephen Few
I am selling three brand new, still packaged, hardback versions of Stephen Few's highly informative books on data visualisation. Not for leisure or bedtime reading, but very useful for those in the know. Stephen has just finished running public lectures, and I found that my copies of these superlative manuals really tell you all you need to know, no need to attend one of his expensive seminars. Show Me The Numbers - Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten, Second Edition - Addressing the prevalent issue of poorly designed quantitative information presentations, this accessible, practical, and comprehensive guide teaches how to properly create tables and graphs for effective and efficient communication. The critical numbers that measure the health, identify the opportunities, and forecast the future of organizations are often misrepresented because few people are trained to design accurate, informative materials, but this manual helps put an end to misinformation. This revised edition of the highly successful book includes updated figures and 91 additional pages of content, including new chapters about quantitative narrative and current misuses of graphs--such as donut, circle, unit, and funnel charts--and new appendices that cover constructing table lens displays and box plots in Excel and useful colour palettes for presentation materials. Information Dashboard Design - Displaying data for at-a-glance monitoring, Second Edition - This text teaches the visual design skills needed to create dashboards that communicate clearly, rapidly, and compellingly. It explains how to avoid the 13 mistakes common to dashboard design, provide viewers with the information they need quickly and clearly, and create an aesthetically pleasing viewing experience. Now You See It - Simple Visualisation Techniques for Quantitative Analysis - This companion to "Show Me the Numbers" teaches the fundamental principles and practices of quantitative data analysis. Employing a methodology that is primarily learning by example and thinking with our eyes, this manual features graphs and practical analytical techniques that can be applied to a broad range of data analysis tools including the most commonly used Microsoft Excel. This approach is particularly valuable to those who need to make sense of quantitative business data by discerning meaningful patterns, trends, relationships, and exceptions that reveal business performance, potential problems and opportunities, and hints about the future. It provides practical skills that are useful to managers at all levels and to those interested in keeping a keen eye on their business.
