First English edition. Sauer was secretary to the Billings' expedition, in which Sarychev also participated (his separate account was published in Russian in the same year). Billings sailed to the Behring Strait, touching land both on the Chukchi peninsular and in Alaska. Most importantly, the expedition explored the Aleutian islands. The present account, which complements Sarychev's, was compiled by Sauer from official reports.

Great for Presentation Education
Format: Paperback
It has been some time since I have utilized Beyond Bullet Points, but this is one text book that kept with me. The point of the book is to help a presenter get their point across to the audience through Powerpoint presentations, and the book does this well. I am sure there are editions other than this one at this point, and I would definitely recommend looking into them in order to keep up to date. Starting with this book is a great idea due to its simplicity.

great informational book
Format: Paperback
I had to buy this book for a graduate-level statistics course. I thought it was kinda silly at first, but it has been a great tool. It has beautiful graphics with fantastic step-by-step instructions and explanations on the whats and whys of tables and figures. I've made some great infographics with the help of this book. Highly recommend for anyone who ever has to present data in some form of fashion.
