Tops in useful info, provocative ideas, and deep thinking., 9. April 1999

Chapter Two as a separate reprint fits perfectly with teaching a one-week topic in an editing class. In my "Editing for Science and Technology" class at George Washington University Center for Professional Education, my students and I found the booklet ideal for homework and discussion. The students, mostly working professionals, perked up more than usual when we took on Tufte's examples and ideas. I recommend it without reservation.

       Section of Visual Explanations, 2. März 1999

Just a note that this is a reprint of Chapter 2 of Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative, just so Tufte fans aren't thinking they're getting something not seen before.
