Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION More than 250 years ago, William Playfair was a dreamer who saw the world differently from other people. Early on, he attempted to apply his unique perspective to a series of career opportunities, although unfortunately only resulted in failure. Then, while writing a book about economics, Will's innovative vision inspired an idea that would set him apart: he created the first modern line graph. These infographic inventions provided a way for numbers to be seen as pictures, which made them easier to understand and to remember- thus changing the way the world would interact with data forever. REVIEW . a modest and quirky underdog story that underscores the rewards of outside-the-box thinking .--Publishers Weekly. a valuable addition to a school library while being equally useful in a personal collection, succeeding both as a research tool and as a biographical story.--CM Magazine. a welcome option for STEM and biography collections.--School Library JournalAn unusual and useful curricular choice for today's students .--Kirkus ReviewsThis attractive package about an overlooked subject is a great choice to inspire nascent dreamers and makers.--Booklist ABOUT THE AUTHOR Helaine Becker is an award-winning children's author.
