[el-ahrairah]

It was ok. didn't really do anything for me though.

38. CJ Stone and Arthur Pendragon - The Trials Of Arthur. terribly written hagiography of the biker druid with the sword. i like him though.

39. Thomas Asbridge - The First Crusade. A new look at one of my favourite bits of history. very interesting but i've read so much on the subject i could probably write a book myself.

Few covers some similar ground, referencing Tufte on occasion, but also gives very practical steps for improving dashboards. Recommended if you're interested in dashboard design.
