Changed My Perspective Completely

Having read numerous books on Data Visualization and Information Design and Media Literacy and Deceptive Charts and Critical Thinking and Infographics and Visual Manipulation, I can confidently say this is among the best treatments of Data Visualization, Information Design, Media Literacy, Deceptive Charts, Critical Thinking, Infographics, Visual Manipulation available. Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing's unique perspective comes from their 9 years of hands-on experience, which shines through in every chapter. The section on Infographics alone is worth the price of admission, offering insights I haven't seen elsewhere in the literature. From the moment I started reading, I could tell this book was different. With over 5 years immersed in Data Visualization and Information Design and Media Literacy and Deceptive Charts and Critical Thinking and Infographics and Visual Manipulation, I've seen my fair share of texts on Data Visualization, Information Design, Media Literacy, Deceptive Charts, Critical Thinking, Infographics, Visual Manipulation, but Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing's approach is refreshingly original. The discussion on Media Literacy challenged my assumptions and offered a new lens through which to view the subject.
