Info We Trust

Info We Trust is for anybody interested in bridging the gap between data and people: data visualization experts, analysts, and anyone who wants to understand the world in new ways. Andrews talks about piquing your audience's interest at one point. Good storytelling, he argues — and I'm paraphrasing — gives room for the audience to form connections. The book itself accomplishes this well, presenting accurate insights while leaving leeway for the reader to connect and extrapolate to their work.

This book takes mathematical and lyrical inspiration from the whole of human existence. It offers advanced strategies for creating more human-like data visualizations, such as visual metaphors and data transformations. It also demonstrates how print advertising, engineering, museum curating, and mythological archetypes can all teach us something. This human-centered approach collaborates with machines to provide knowledge that is useful to humans. Expand your knowledge by learning from a long tradition of putting things "in shape" to generate new and interesting ways of looking at the world.

Info We Trust offers a unique approach to the art of informing. It's based on decades of best practices and infused with the creative zeal of a master data storyteller. Hundreds of creative compositions adorn Info We Trust, illuminating the trade, delighting the reader, and inspiring a new generation of data storytellers.

"Info We Trust elevates the art of numerical design to a poetic level. Data visualization requires a book like this, with an essay that is both beautiful and distinctive."—Alberto Cairo, University of Miami's Knight Chair in Visual Journalism.
