About the book >.>.> THE world is complex dynamic multidimensional; the paper is static flat. How are we to represent the rich visual world of experience and measurement on mere flatland? This book celebrates escapes from flatland rendering several hundred superb displays of complex data. Revealed here are design strategies for enhancing the dimensionality and density of portrayals of information- techniques exemplified in maps the manuscripts of Galileo timetables notation describing dance movements aerial photographs the Vietnam Veterans Memorial electrocardiograms drawings of Calder and Klee computer visualizations and a textbook of Euclid’s geometry. Our investigation yields general principles that have specific visual consequences governing the design editing analysis and critique of data representations. These principles help to identify and to explain design excellence-why some displays are better than others. (SP)
