William Starrs second book in this outstanding series of "adventures" provides a wealth of help to the beginning violinist. Like Book 1; it is designed to help early music readers understand the basic skills of scales; keys; pitch; and rhythm in a presentation written for adults to explain to children. The music is organized by scale; key; and finger patterns; allowing the student to learn through repetition of these patterns. The book has specific step-by-step activity suggestions; and enjoyable duets and folk music are included throughout.

KittrellWhile many of the core design hints can be found elsewhere the case studies set this apart from most other information visualization guidebooks. Well written and organized this will be useful to both graphic design and programmer staff looking to find new and useful ways to present information.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great book for inspirationBy DavidI bought this for inspiration for making visualizations. It is useful in this regard; but I thought editorial review was a bit over the top; which essentially makes a comparison to Tufte. While I dont think this book is on Tuftes level; it does have some of that feel and its also Meirelles first book to my knowledge. Its also very reasonably priced. Ill definitely look to Meirelles future books for additional purchases.Recap: perhaps a little oversold in the editorial review; but I think this is a great book to pick up to get inspiration.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great resource for anyone who is interested in information design.By Leah GlennonThis book is well organized and easy to navigate; much like the infographics that are shown as examples in the book. The combination of well-written advice on organizing information visually and the wide variety of gorgeous infographics that are shown is very helpful when deciding how to visualize data.
