the numbers? by Norman Fenton and Martin Neil Where are the numbers? by Norman Fenton and Martin Neil

With this second edition, Show Me the Numbers has been transformed from a practical, engaging, and trustworthy guide for displaying numbers into the most comprehensive reference available for anyone who seeks to present data in enlightening ways, even to those with numberphobia." --Stacey Barr, performance measure specialist In September, Nancy Duarte—CEO of Duarte, Inc. and Guild Advisor—will publish her next book DataStory: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story. The Presentation Guild interviewed her about how to be accurate in the creative process of data storytelling: Now You See It does for visual data sensemaking what Show Me the Numbers does for graphical data presentation: it teaches simple, fundamental, and practical concepts, principles, and techniques that anyone can use—only this time they're exploring and making sense of information, not presenting it. These techniques rely primarily on something almost everyone has: vision. They use graphs to display data in ways that make meaningful patterns visible to reveal the stories that reside within. These techniques also involve interacting with data in particular ways to tease out relevant facts and their meanings. So that’s a handy guide for understanding the human teeth numbers and names. In future posts we’ll be looking at, and demystifying, other aspects of a dental treatment plan that may be hard for the lay person to understand.

With our professional certifications rolling out in October and establishing presentation standards, the Presentation Guild plans to raise the bar with best practices regarding presentation development and design. Helping you “show the numbers” and guiding audience to understanding is part of that plan. While the dashboards book, Information Dashboard Design: Displaying Data for At-a-Glance Monitoring , is focused on at-a-glance dashboards, Show Me the Numbers is more broadly focused and goes into extreme depth on both table and graph design. Like the dashboards book, Show Me the Numbers begins by laying a foundation with the science on how our brains perceive visual information, then builds its design principles on that foundation. Mr. Few is widely cited (or disparaged) as "the cranky guy that hates pie charts". But his criticism of pie charts (and other poor visualization practices) is grounded in the science of visual perception, not his personal taste in visualizations. A necessary book for those that are presenting and are concerned with the designs used for graphs, and tables. In other words, if you are a professor or involved in delivering reports to the management or public audiences it is a very useful resource. The book in a very detailed and sometimes even academic style explains the type of data, tables, graphs, designs, fonts, colours, patterns etc. used for presenting info to various audiences. It contains tons of examples, and every error in tables and graphs is shown and explained why it is a bad idea to use it. The book can be used as well for learning and testing your skills in this area by providing exercises and tests where you can see if you understood and are ready to apply the stuff you just read. A truly useful tool from the author that also helped Hans Rosling with his TED talk and presentation with the animated bubbles presenting advanced statistical data in time - the penultimate chapter is my favorite and is focusing on presenting animated data.

We want to help you take charge of your own dental care. So let’s start at the fundamentals – teeth numbers and names. Teeth Numbers Chart Access to data is vast. The bigger data gets, the more complicated forms of interactive visualizations are at our disposal. When it comes to communicating data, you want to choose the charts that make the insights from the data the clearest, not the coolest. After you plot the chart, highlight what’s important and overlay annotations to show what your conclusions are from the data.” If you are looking for practical, easy-to-follow guidelines for presenting numerical data, this is the best book there is. Stephen Few's examples are elegant, and his advice is right on the money." --Colin Ware, professor, University of New Hampshire, and author, Information Visualization: Perception for Design Neuroscience researchers assert that the brain reflexively avoids complex images by rejecting them in a few seconds. Finding ways to captivate audience attention in a world of ever-increasing distractions is difficult enough. Making your data captivating might appear next to impossible. Big Data, Big Dupe is a little book about a big bunch of nonsense. The story of David and Goliath inspires us to hope that something little, when armed with truth, can topple something big that is a lie. This is the author's hope. While others have written about the dangers of Big Data, Stephen Few reveals the deceit that belies its illusory nature. If "data is the new oil," Big Data is the new snake oil. It isn't real. It's a marketing campaign that has distracted us for years from the real and important work of deriving value from data.As an example, teeth numbers 1, 16, 17, and 32 are your wisdom teeth. Teeth numbers 14 and 15 are your upper left molars. If you are getting cosmetic dentistry using veneers, you usually want to enhance the most visible part, teeth numbers 6 – 11 on the upper and 22 – 26 on the lower. For movie fans, vampires can extend their eye teeth (canines): 6, 11, 22 and 27. Teeth Numbers and Names Not just 'a' book on statistical graphics, it is 'the' book on statistical graphics. No other book has influenced my own view on the visual presentation of quantitative evidence as much as this. A true masterpiece." --Alberto Cairo, author, The Functional Art Show me the numbers sounds clichéd, but numbers are what a data-oriented society expects. For designers and content professionals, this expectation comes with an additional challenge to represent the data in an impactful way. Most of us know the basic tooth names, such as molar, incisor, or wisdom tooth. At the dental clinic, human teeth are identified by their numbers and each teeth are named differently. Making data simple is not so simple. Making data visually appealing can lead to misunderstandings. Data is not only about numbers but the meaning behind those numbers—their story. The solution, then, is to tell the right story about the data and guide the audience’s understanding of it. This leads to a shared interpretation.
