Abstract: The article focuses on two recent titles that provide practical guidance on data visualization for business librarians and students: "Practical Charts" by Nicholas P. Desbarats and "The Secret Language of Maps" by Carissa Carter. Desbarats' book emphasizes tactical approaches to communicating quantitative data through charts and graphs, while Carter's work explores the broader concept of maps as visual storytelling tools, incorporating various frameworks and creative design elements. Both titles are designed to enhance data literacy and communication skills, making them valuable resources for librarians and students in a data-driven business environment.
