书籍介绍
This book celebrates escapes from the flatlands of both paper and computer screen, showing superb displays of high-dimensional complex data. 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 many other wonderful displays of information. The book provides practical advice about how to explain complex material by visual means, with extraordinary 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 throughout. Highest quality design and production.

精彩摘录
- "Small multiples, whether tabular or pictorial, move to the heart of visual reasoning - to see, distinguish, choose"
- "We envision information in order to reason about, communicate, document, and preserve that knowledge-activities nearly always carried out on two-dimensional paper and computer screen. Escaping this flatland and enriching the density of data displays are the essential tasks of information design. Suc"
- "It is all right to decorate construction but never construct decoration"
- "1 + 1 = 3 or more, when two elements show themselves along with assorted incidental by-products of their partnership — occasionally a basis for pleasing aesthetic effects but always a continuing danger to data exhibits."
- "We thrive in information-thick worlds because of our marvelous and everyday capacities to select, edit, single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, merge, harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, i"

棒,就是作者文笔太做作了contrived,学会了有限制的美
Insanely interesting and captivating
Oh, paper work
好书，但我看个半懂不懂
好棒好棒！言简意赅，没有废话，而且drawing都选的很好！
通读第一遍
很好的一本书，而且很好读。让我意识到，啊，我所有习以为常的图表都是被人设计出来的，大家在visualization上花了如此多的精力！也给自己未来做图打了一些基础
可翻读。
