My review
This is an excellent introduction to ggplot, the data visualization package for R. Of course, you could learn ggplot by googling but, in my opinion, having a reference book can be very helpful.
I liked that he respects the fundamental principles of data visualization. For example, he recommends using neither pies nor double y-axes, showing alternatives to both in ggplot.
