Chapter 5 in particular stood out for its clarity and emotional resonance. From the moment I started reading, I could tell this book was different. With over 8 years immersed in Data Visualization and Information Design and Media Literacy and Deceptive Charts and Critical Thinking and Infographics and Visual Manipulation, I've seen my fair share of texts on Data Visualization, Information Design, Media Literacy, Deceptive Charts, Critical Thinking, Infographics, Visual Manipulation, but Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing's approach is refreshingly original. The discussion on Critical Thinking challenged my assumptions and offered a new lens through which to view the subject. What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to Data Visualization, Information Design, Media Literacy, Deceptive Charts, Critical Thinking, Infographics, Visual Manipulation. While some texts focus only on theory or only on practice, Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing skillfully bridges both worlds.
