商品描述
Before you can present information to others, you must understand its story. Now You See It teaches the concepts, principles, and practices of visual data sensemaking. The skills taught in this book rely primarily on something that most of us possess--vision--interactively using graphs to find and examine the meaningful patterns and relationships that reside in quantitative data. Although some questions about quantitative data can only be answered using sophisticated statistical techniques, most can be answered using relatively simple visual data sensemaking skills. Until Now You See It was published, no book taught these basic skills comprehensively and in a way that was accessible to a broad audience. Even though these skills can be developed by anyone with eyes to see, they are not intuitive--they must be learned. Without these skills, even the best data visualization tools are of little use, and data will remain nothing but noise.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在向他人呈現資訊之前,您必須了解其背後的故事。《Now You See It》教授視覺數據理解的概念、原則和實踐。本書所教授的技能主要依賴於我們大多數人所擁有的能力——視覺——透過互動式圖表來尋找和檢視定量數據中存在的有意義的模式和關係。雖然某些關於定量數據的問題只能通過複雜的統計技術來回答,但大多數問題可以通過相對簡單的視覺數據理解技能來解決。在《Now You See It》出版之前,沒有一本書能夠全面且以廣泛受眾可接受的方式教授這些基本技能。儘管這些技能可以由任何有眼睛的人來發展,但它們並不是直觀的——必須學習。沒有這些技能,即使是最好的數據視覺化工具也幫不了忙,數據將仍然只是噪音。
