About World of Books Ltd West Sussex, United Kingdom
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

Reveal the story your data has to tell
To create effective data visualizations, you must be part statistician, part designer, and part storyteller. In his bestselling book Visualize This, Nathan Yau introduced you to the tools and programming techniques for visualization. Now, in Data Points, he explores the thinking process that helps you create original, meaningful visualizations that your audience will both understand and remember. Here's how to make your data mean something.
- Discover what data is and what you can learn from it
- Learn how to explore your data, find the story, and bring it to life
- Understand visualization as a medium that lets you present and express meaning in data
- Tap into your creative side and determine the most effective way to tell your story
- Compare tools for exploration and analysis
- Allow data, the story, and your goals to dictate visualization techniques with geometry, traditional charts, maps, color, art, and even humor
