Description

This book celebrates escapes from the flatlands of both paper and visual display unit, showing excellent displays of high-dimensional complex data. Essentially the most design-oriented of Edward Tufte’s books, Envisioning Information shows maps, charts, scientific presentations, diagrams, computer interfaces, statistical graphics and tables, stereo photographs, guidebooks, courtroom exhibits, timetables, use of color, a pop-up, and plenty of other wonderful displays of information. The book provides practical advice about how to give an explanation for complex material by visual means, with peculiar examples to illustrate the fundamental principles of information displays. Topics include escaping flatland, color and information, micro/macro designs, layering and separation, small multiples, and narratives. Winner of 17 awards for design and content. 400 illustrations with exquisite 6- to 12-color printing all through. Easiest quality design and production.
A remarkable range of examples for the idea of visual thinking, with beautifully printed pages. An actual treat for all who reason and learn by way of images. — Rudolf Arnheim
