Here is what people are saying about the Visual & Statistical Thinking: Displays of Evidence for Decision Making
4 Star Rating  "excerpt"2009-06-05
- Reviewed By User: A3GZJIMQ4QT50P
This pamphlet is largely two excerpted case studies from Tufte's other books, so it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. Having said that and understanding its limited scope, it makes a great classroom tool both for information graphics and for areas of related study. It is inexpensive enough to supplement a text book and it a nice - as are all of Tufte's books - object.
 
5 Star Rating  "Terrific excerpt"2009-03-10
- Reviewed By User: A70NFM6KHU24F
If you're anything like me, you'll want to have Tufte's finest book, Visual Explanations, sitting on your shelf. If that's the case, then you don't need this slim volume, which is Chapter 2 of that large and beautiful book. But one way or the other, it's important to read it.

Tufte describes visual plots of statistical evidence in two cases: Its success in diagnosing the cause of a London cholera epidemic, and the failure of a small group of engineers to convince their superiors to halt the disastrous launch of the Challenger in 1986. Together, these examples provide a guide and an inspiration to anyone putting together charts and graphs with a purpose.
 
4 Star Rating  "Show Me The Numbers"2008-06-23
- Reviewed By tsg205
Stephen Few should be required reading for anybody who inflicts Excel graphs and PowerPoint presentations on an unsuspecting public. Everybody knows how to use those applications, very few know how to use them right. As a result, people take away the wrong message, or have absolutely no idea what the purpose of the slide show was.

Few explains design in terms of communicating information.
 
4 Star Rating  "A must have book for presenting data"2008-06-09
- Reviewed By annemar101
I had to buy more than one because so many people borrowed my copy. It is essential to read if you do a lot of presentations of critical material.
 
5 Star Rating  "Superb analytical writing"2007-01-04
- Reviewed By gptucker
Tufte is a master of laying out the problem, revealing misguided analysis used in the two studies that he dissects and then shows how to better interpret the data. I found myself slowing down my usual reading speed to half and doubling my concentration to follow him, which is a compliment to the depth of his writing. Tufte is concise and a well-regarded authority on the methods to describe, define, reveal and present problems so that solutions are found honestly. I recommend reading all his work.
 
4 Star Rating  "Visual and Statistical Thinking....very visual"2006-08-02
- Reviewed By User: A3MLTPDGFIBTJM
A very good book on a fairly obscure but very important subject. Being able to effectively communicate numerical/statistical information in a graphical way is far more art and aethetics, than science. Anyone who uses charts and graphs to convey important information should get this book. In other works by Tufte, he shows how proper use of explaining critical numerical information could have stopped the Space Shuttle from launching on a cold morning which eventually led to it exploding shortly after tackoff in 1987 - due to an o-ring failing to seal properly. A fascinating read that reveals how important graphs are to making sense of numerical data.
