Description

Tufte ( The visual display of quantitative information ) continues the intense work published in 1983 on the most efficient means of displaying multivariate information on a flat surface. This elaborate book (as much as 23 color impressions on a single plate and a tipped-in triangle/pyramid) hints on the large revenues of Graphic Press’ (Box 430, Cheshire, CT 06410) first book. This can be a beautiful book a number of color, lucid reproduction, fine paper (moderately alkaline) with a beautiful dust jacket (covering a shockingly drab case). Tufte presents design strategies for enhancing the dimensionality and density of portrayals of knowledge in maps, manuscripts of Galileo, timetables, dance notations, electrocardiograms, drawings of Calder and Klee, computer visualizations, a textbook of Euclid’s geometry. We’re sorry that a book on information lacks Cataloging-in-Publication data. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
