| Summary |
"Science and art have in common intense seeing, the wide-eyed observing that generates empirical information. 'Beautiful evidence' is about how seeing turns into showing, how empirical observations turn into explanations and evidence. The book identifies excellent and effective methods for showing evidence, suggests new designs, and provides analytical tools for assessing the credibility of evidence presentations." - page 9 |
