Dalla quarta di copertina

The world is flooded with data. But often, rather than bringing clarity, this data deluge brings with it complexity and complication that make the world harder to understand. It can also exacerbate cognitive biases, misinformation, and false narratives that threaten global security and financial markets.

In From Chaos to Clarity: How Data Visualisation Can Save the World, celebrated data visualisation expert James Eagle delivers a uniquely insightful exploration of the intersection of storytelling and data science. He explains how data visualisation enhances humankind's ability to tell compelling stories and how you can use data to tackle human biases and accommodate the way that the human brain thinks.

You'll learn about the clash between traditional ideas in data science and new data visualisation techniques being used by professionals today. You'll also discover how artificial intelligence and other new tech tools fit into the data visualisation landscape and how you can use them to improve the way you tell stories.

From Chaos to Clarity offers an incisive behind-the-scenes discussion of data visualisation’s development, the role it currently plays in business and media, and its potential as a storytelling device. It goes beyond the simple "how-to" format of other books and focuses instead on developing an approach to data visualisation rooted in human intuition and intelligence.

Perfect for professionals in finance, medicine, engineering, the hard sciences, and mathematics, From Chaos to Clarity is also an ideal fit for academics, journalists, content creators and writers, and anyone else with an interest in how to communicate complex ideas in a complicated world.
