The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition by Edward R. Tufte
Publisher: Graphics Press | 2 edition (May 2001) | ISBN: 0961392142 | Pages: 197 | PDF | 12.7 MB

A timeless classic in how complex information should be presented graphically. The Strunk & White of visual design. Should occupy a place of honor--within arm's reach--of everyone attempting to understand or depict numerical data graphically. The design of the book is an exemplar of the principles it espouses: elegant typography and layout, and seamless integration of lucid text and perfectly chosen graphical examples. Very Highly Recommended.
