Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative (Gebundene Ausgabe) von Edward R. Tufte, Bonnie Scranton Rezensionen: WithVisual Explanations, Edward R. Tufte adds a third volume to his indispensable series on information display. The first,The Visual Display of Quantitative Informationwhich focuses on charts and graphs that display numerical information, virtually defined the field. The second,Envisioning Informationexplores similar territory but with an emphasis on maps and cartography.Visual Explanationscenters on dynamic data--information that changes over time. (Tufte has described the three books as being about, respectively, "pictures of numbers, pictures of nouns, and pictures of verbs.") Like its predecessors,Visual Explanationsis both intellectually stimulating and beautiful to behold. Tufte, a self-publisher, takes extraordinary pains with design and production. The book ranges through a variety of topics, including the explosion of the space shuttleChallenger(which could have been prevented, Tufte argues, by better information display on the part of the rocket's engineers), magic tricks, a cholera epidemic in 19th-century London, and the principle of using "the smallest effective difference" to display distinctions in data. Throughout, Tufte presents ideas with crystalline clarity and illustrates them in exquisitely rendered samples. © 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften Alle Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  Visual ,  Explanations ,  Images  ab 1 Euro!
