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. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Visualization is the graphic presentation of data -- portrayals meant to reveal complex information at a glance. Think of the familiar map of the New York City subway system, or a diagram of the human brain. Successful visualizations are beautiful not only for their aesthetic design, but also for elegant layers of detail that efficiently generate insight and new understanding. This book examines the methods of two dozen visualization experts who approach their projects from a variety of perspectives -- as artists, designers, commentators, scientists, analysts, statisticians, and more. Together they demonstrate how visualization can help us make sense of the world. Explore the importance of storytelling with a simple visualization exercise Learn how color conveys information that our brains recognize before we're fully aware of it Discover how the books we buy and the people we associate with reveal clues to our deeper selves Recognize a method to the madness of air travel with a visualization of civilian air traffic Find out how researchers investigate unknown phenomena, from initial sketches to published papers Contributors include: Nick Bilton,Michael E.
