Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"The style of the book is very didactic. The book is best used as a step-by-step guide for performing all the operations needed to present data in a consistent way. Each chapter is full of figures and screen shots that support the topic being explained … which makes it very easy to reproduce them. … This book will be invaluable to any reader who is not an information technology (IT) professional, and could be asked … to present data in consistent way." (Andrea Paramithiotti, Computing Reviews, Vol. 50 (1), January, 2009)
