BOOK REVIEW
publication date: Feb 8, 2004
When assembling a claim, the consultant is faced with the task of presenting complex data in a manner designed to emphasize impacts incurred and the relative increases in costs due to the impacts. For disputes that end up in arbitration or litigation, additional supporting graphics become necessary to allow juries (or judges) the ability to reason about a series of verbal presentations by witnesses. The Tufte books are not litigation-support specific, but do offer philosophical, psychological and technical guidance on visual displays. The practitioner of graphical presentations and demonstrative evidence should find the books useful for both improving existing methods and for inspiration to think “outside the box” in finding new ways to illustrate project impacts.
