The Books Of Edward Tufte


Edward Tufte's books get you thinking about the meaning of the words and images. He has written several books including "The Visual Dispay Of Quantitative Information" in which he discusses the use of overhead projectors, computers and videos to give presentations.
The book takes you through some of the best and a few worst graphics and charts ever printed and had over 200 illustrations of statistical graphics. Tufte gives advice for presenting information in a clear and easy to understand way. He shows how to design and edit displays and improve on the graphics.
