Data Visualization for Social Science: A practical introduction with R and ggplot2.
Kieran Healy is a professor in sociology at Duke University. He is also an active teacher on the principles of data visualization and now author of a new book on the subject of graphical principles written fully in R Bookdown. His book is an excellent and clear guide for developing effective graphs, starting from the basic principles through to many hands on examples. The book also acts a quick start how to guide for R and ggplot2.
Although the book is aimed at the social sciences the content of the book and the underlying principles apply to all quantitative disciplines. For example, there is a section dedicated to the presentation of estimates and predictions from a statistical model, covering extensions to ggplot such as GGally.
An online version of the book is now available at http://socviz.co/.
