Recensioner i media

“The book is well illustrated and includes input (in green) and output (in red) of sessions in the projects. The charts produced by the graphical tools are readable and serve as models for exploratory graphics. The data files are large zip files that can be downloaded from the publisher using the included uniform resource locators (URLs). The wealth of projects and the guidance provided to users would make this book very useful in advanced-level practicum/lab courses.” (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, March 13, 2025)
