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.

Understand the importance of context and audience
Determine the appropriate type of graph for your situation
Recognize and eliminate the clutter clouding your information
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

好书。总结一下就是可视化不是终点,要解读完的结论可视化再给观众。不要做事做一半(没人能看懂你的分析,也没人能看懂可视化,人们需要的不是数据和分析的可视化,而是结论的可视化)。。推荐一个书里的网站给大家http://viz.wtf/

评分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!
评分简单但挺有启发
