Visualizing Data: Psychology and Analytics - Exploring, Explaining and Storytelling (Paperback) is a comprehensive exploration of data visualization that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of storytelling is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While Visualizing Data: Psychology and Analytics - Exploring, Explaining and Storytelling (Paperback) makes several valuable points about storytelling, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of communication seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to communication. That said, the sections on communication are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in storytelling, this could be a truly outstanding work.
