Like the London Tube Map? Then you will love this book. This is an anthology of 20 essays on the topic of data visualization. Beautifully illustrated, with examples from many varied disciplines including: time series, textual origins, color, social patterns and social networks, hand drawn sketches. Chapters are primarily first person accounts of HOW the author came to create their set of visualizations. Includes visual illustations on: Blue State/Red States, NY Subway Map, airplane flight patterns, US Senate voting, YellowPages.com searches, Wikipedia authoring, NY Times articles, and (gag) even forensic postmortems. Recommended for designers and software developers who have ever struggled with how to present complex data -- others may like it just for the color pictures.… (altro)
