8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Every software engineer/teacher/illustrator/editor needs itBy A CustomerOh; lovely! For those who know Tufte's earlier books; all I need to say is "he's written another."It looks like he publishes one every seven years ("The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" in 1983; "Envisioning Information" in 1990) so Ithink I'm going to budget $0.02 per day and get them all. Perhaps the most significant chapter is his analysis of how bad graphic presentation contributed to the loss of the space shuttle "Challenger." Basically; he believes that data were available which could and should have led to a decision to cancel the launch; but that the engineers failed to communicate it to the decision-makers. And he shows exactly how and why they failed. Left brain? right brain? Tufte shows us visual elegance in the service of quantitative thinking.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
