Synopsis This title is both intellectually stimulating and beautiful to behold. The author, who owns a publishing company that takes extraordinary pains with design and production, covers a range of topics including magic tricks, a cholera epidemic in 19th-century London, and the principle of using the smallest effective difference to display distinctions in data. He presents his ideas clearly and illustrates them in exquisitely rendered samples.
