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.
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. Such escapes grow more difficult as ties of data to our familiar three-space world weaken and as the number of dimensions increases. Still, all the history of information displays and statistical graphics-indeed of any communication device-is entirely a progress of methods for enhancing density, complexity, dimensionality, and even sometimes beauty. Some of these methods, identified and described in the chapters that follow, include micro/macro ridings of detail and panorama, layering and separatio... (查看原文)

Tufte很多核心观点贯穿在他的很多书里，例子也多重复，所以挑一本经典的读就够了（不是这本）。以及这本书的语言之难懂，在我读过非人文类的英文读物里，也简直首屈一指了。

在 Tufte 的一系列书中，这本不算最出色的。重点其实

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
