(PRWEB) May 16, 2005 -- Analytics Press is pleased to announce that Show Me
the Numbers: Designing Tables And Graphs To Enlighten is a semifinalist for the
2005 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the business category. Every year
since 1996, Independent Publisher Magazine (http://www.IndependentPublisher.com) has recognized superior
books with the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
Show Me the Numbers:
Designing Tables And Graphs To Enlighten, by Stephen Few, is the first practical
and comprehensive guide to table and graph design written specifically for
business. From it employees and students will learn to display data clearly and
to drive their message home.
“Poor data presentation is a pervasive but
largely unrecognized problem in business,” asserts the author, Stephen Few. “The
vast majority of the tables and graphs fail to communicate effectively, and
businesses pay for these failings continually in the form of bad
decisions.”
“Show Me the Numbers is an invaluable handbook for
participants in business,” says Jonathan G. Koomey Ph.D., President of Analytics
Press. “It teaches effective graphical display in a way that is accessible to
middle managers, CEOs, business analysts, graphic artists, and researchers,”
says Koomey.
Stephen Few has more than 20 years of experience as an
innovator, consultant, and educator in the fields of Business Intelligence
(a.k.a. Data Warehousing and Decision Support) and Information Design. Today, as
Principal of the consulting firm Perceptual Edge, he focuses on the design of
business information for effective analysis and communication.
