Tukey looms large over the field of data visualization and computer science generally. He famously coined the term “bit” and invented the box plot. From page one of “EDA” you get a sense of what an incredible person he must have been: there is vivid metaphor and an almost folksy lightness throughout that reminds me of the most generous and patient teachers.

Tukey most informed my own book’s tour through data exploration. Yes, they are interesting to learn about, but they also showed us how creative you could get while exploring data. As he says in EDA, “don’t expect standard summaries to reveal the unusual.”

Its length may be intimidating, but do not worry. Lots of the content is textbook exercises and examples, printed with multiple-page data tables for reference, all of which can be skipped as you plow through.

Very fundamental skills how to grasp the numbers easily are shown step by step. Especially the explanations on the counting and plots reminds me, a professor of physics in a college, that the first step of these skills were given and repeatedly trained in a junior high school but are rarely taught nowadays.
