It offers theory and practice for designing effective data displays, including high‑resolution formats, small multiples, time‑series, relational graphics, and multivariate maps. The book analyzes design decisions such as the data‑ink ratio, and warns against graphical deception by comparing design variation to data variation. With 250 illustrations, it critiques excellent and poor examples while providing detailed guidance on layout, aesthetics, and the visualization of complex data sets. The second edition enhances color reproductions, updates content from 17 printings, and incorporates corrections for a cleaner, more modern presentation.
