DataViz – How to Choose the Right Chart for Your Data
Data visualisation is sexy – probably the sexiest part of statistics, Data Science, business intelligence and many other fields too.
And it can make or break your study!
Few people that have to create charts as part of their study know and understand how to create charts for maximum effectiveness, and as a result struggle to engage their audience.
And that’s a shame, because a well-crafted chart has the potential to change the world!
Charts really are that important!
DataViz: How to Choose the Right Chart for Your Data is a short guide to all the different types of charts you’ll commonly encounter in statistics.
It is a snappy little non-threatening book about everything you ever wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) about the craft of creating inspirational graphics for your study, presentation, thesis, or just about any occasion – irrespective of your audience.

A roller coaster of a book in 8 witty chapters, this might just be the most entertaining statistics book you’ll read this year.
Did you know that pirates caused global warming, and that a statistical lie gave rise to one of the fastest growing religions on the planet? Probably not – you might have missed the memo that day.

They’re true, honest – and this book has got the stats to prove it.
In this eye-opening book, award winning statistician and author Lee Baker uncovers the key tricks of the trade used by politicians, corporations and other statistical conmen to deceive, hoodwink and otherwise dupe the unwary.
