Information Graphics

Rating: **** (Mediocre)

This is a book that it is rumoured that every new hire of McKinsey gets the first day.

This probably tell you more of the level of graduates that McKinsey hires than the usefulness of the book. The book is a boring (alphabetical) listing of everything you never wanted to know about information graphics. It is dull, boring, correct and unless you're a professional in this area, totally uninteresting.

Be warned, you'll never get any recommendations from the book on when and how to use the different kinds of graphics! You'll only be able to tell what the differences are between the types of grahics mentioned in the book.
