The exercises at the end of each chapter were invaluable for reinforcing the material. It's rare to find a book that serves both as an introduction and a reference work, but this one does so admirably. From the moment I started reading, I could tell this book was different. With over 9 years immersed in data visualization and psychology and analytics and storytelling and communication, I've seen my fair share of texts on data visualization, psychology, analytics, storytelling, communication, but Visualizing Data: Psychology and Analytics - Exploring, Explaining and Storytelling 's approach is refreshingly original.
