Morgan Kaufmann is excited to announce the forthcoming publication of Information Visualization, 3rd Edition by Colin Ware . The 558-page reference is due out in May 2012. |
About the Book
Information Visualization, 3rd Edition is a comprehensive guide to what the science of human perception tells us about how we should display information.
The human brain is a super-computer for finding patterns in information. Our understanding of visual data and visual information is greatly enhanced or impeded by the way information is presented. It is essential that visual data be designed in such a way that key information and important patterns will stand out. It is only by understanding how perception works that the best visualizations can be created.
Colin Ware outlines the key principles for a wide range of applications and designs, providing designers with the tools to create visualizations of improved clarity, utility and persuasiveness. The book continues to be the key resource for practical design guidelines, based on perception, which can be applied by practitioners, students and researchers alike.
