Architects and Builders in North Carolina: A History of the Practice of Building

About this book

Tufte ( The visual display of quantitative information ) continues the brilliant work published in 1983 on the best means of displaying multivariate information on a flat surface. This elaborate book (up to 23 color impressions on a single plate and a tipped-in triangle/pyramid) hints at the large revenues of Graphic Press (Box 430 Cheshire CT 06410) first book. This is a beautiful book lots of color lucid reproduction fine paper (slightly alkaline) with an exquisite dust jacket (covering a shockingly drab case). Tufte presents design strategies for enhancing the dimensionality and density of portrayals of information in maps manuscripts of Galileo timetables dance notations electrocardiograms drawings of Calder and Klee computer visualizations a textbook of Euclids geometry. Were sorry that a book on information lacks Cataloging-in-Publication data. Annotation copyright Book News Inc. Portland Or.
