Recenzje

''A picture is worth a thousand words.' Nowhere is this more the case than when presenting data to policymakers in order to guide decision-making. In this book, José Manuel Magallanes Reyes shows us how, drawing upon his extensive background in social science, public policy, data science, analytics, and teaching visualization to undergraduate and graduate students in political science and public policy.'
