When Graphs Are a Matter of Life and Death

published in The New Yorker
Fry reviews two books, "A History of Data Visualization and Graphic Communication" (Harvard) by Michael Friendly and Howard Wainer, and "How Charts Lie" by Alberto Cairo. She tracks the history of graphs to the 1620s in an attempt to accurately calculate the longitudinal distance from Toledo to Rome.
