“Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.”
Sam Keen
Now that Summer is here it’s a great time to recharge our batteries. Whether it’s a much needed vacation, a nap in the hammock, hours watching soccer games or curling up with a good book. Here are the books that made it onto the Juice Summer reading list this year. We’ve started some of them, but plan to get through the entire list by Labor Day.
After hearing Alberto speak recently in Atlanta on his book tour we added it to our list. We’re sure it will make it to the Juice reference library along with his other books.
This book was on Bill Gates Summer reading list last year and we’re finally getting around to reading it. Each chapter tells a great story about how to think about data in the context of real life.
This book has gotten a lot of interest in the data visualization community, so hard to ignore it and not make it a focal part of our Summer.
As Juicebox supports data storytelling at scale, we love to read anything we can get our hands on about stories. This one came highly recommended to us.
We’re always up for some clever humor. This book fits the bill and just skimming us made us laugh.
This book is a beautiful compilation of maps and hard to put down. Very enjoyable to skim and appreciate the illustrations on a rainy day or Summer afternoon.
