Really enjoyed this review James, thanks for bringing this book to my attention - as a working engineer I unfortunately don't typically get the time to produce really good figures but its always something i like to think about. It can definitely be a challenge to represent multivariate data to a broad audience, which i think clever figure design can go some way towards mitigating. I can remember a well known old book on data visualisation (possibly pre-computer) but can't for the life of me think of the title; I'm sure the concept of proportionality was brought up there too.

Thanks for the review James. Will have to give this one a look. Might try and slip a lecture in on data visualization in my digital multimedia module next semester. I have to admit though, when I heard the examples were in R, I let out an audible sigh. I'll have a go at converting some of the examples into python/pyplot.

Thanks James. Particularly interested to see application to bioprocess data. on my amazon list.
