How Charts Lie: Getting Smarter about Visual Information by Alberto Cairo

Go to review page

3.5

It provides basic ideas on making and reading charts that everyone in this information, disinformation, misinformation age should know. It's not 100% introductory since it assumes some very basic knowledge of statistics like mean and median, but it's very readable for the general public.
What I enjoyed the most were the many examples made to accompany the many ideas and advices presented.

It was some very clever revelations at the end that don't go overboard and for me made the story really well crafted.
