Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Information Design is excellent, I found the sections on Critical Thinking 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 Information Design more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Critical Thinking will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Media Literacy, if not the definitive work.
