Summary:

"Design for Information offers an integrative approach to learning basic principles for the visual presentation of information. The book surveys current visualizations that are analyzed for their content (information) as well as for their methods of presentation and design strategies (design). Chapters are organized around case studies that, working as sounding boards, provide the context for scrutinizing information design principles and discussion of the histories, theories, and best practices in the field." -- Publisher's description.
