About the book
Edward R. Tufte's most design-oriented book gathers strong displays of complex, high-dimensional data that escape the flatland of paper and computer screen. Its examples range across maps, timetables, diagrams, scientific presentations, courtroom exhibits, computer interfaces, guidebooks, stereo photographs, statistical graphics and even a pop-up. Tufte gives practical advice on explaining complex material by visual means, organized around topics such as small multiples, layering and separation, color and information, micro and macro designs, narratives and escaping flatland. Its 400 illustrations are printed in six to twelve colors throughout. The book won 17 awards for its design and content, and the Whole Earth Review called it a passionate, elegant revelation.
Kevin Rose called Tufte the master of turning complicated data into clear, attractive charts and graphs, and pointed anyone in graphic, print or web design to his series of books.
