★★★★★

Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Critical Thinking is excellent, I found the sections on Analytics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Critical Thinking that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Data Visualization more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Visualizations will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Critical Thinking, if not the definitive work.

★★★★☆

This work by Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing represents a significant contribution to the field of Analytics. The author's approach to Data Visualization demonstrates a sophisticated understanding that will benefit both novice and experienced readers alike. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion on Media Literacy, which provides fresh insights into Visual Manipulation. The methodological rigor and theoretical framework make this an essential read for anyone interested in Information Design. While some may argue that Deceptive Charts, the overall quality of the research and presentation is undeniable. This volume will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field of Analytics.

I absolutely loved Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing! It completely changed my perspective on Data Visualization. At first I wasn't sure about Media Literacy, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Analytics is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Information Design. What I appreciated most was how the book made Data Visualization feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
