Playfair's Commercial and Political Atlas and Statistical Breviary

Beschreibung

William Playfair's revolutionary Atlas showed how much could be learned if one plotted data atheoretically and looked for suggestive patterns. This full colour reproduction of two of his classic works, with new explanatory material, makes Playfair's wisdom widely available for the first time in two centuries.
