Information Graphics A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference

"Information graphics consists of five major categories - charts, graphs, maps, diagrams, and tables - that are key visual tools for anyone involved with information technology. This book is a comprehensive, fully-illustrated reference to the field from a functional as well as aesthetic point of view. The five categories are discussed not merely as isolated graphics for presentation purposes, but as important visual tools for conceptualizing, analyzing, managing, and communicating information on a daily basis. The reader will discover the amazingly wide range of illustration graphics available, how to construct them, how to interpret them, and how they are used in everyday applications. The over 850 entries are arranged alphabetically."Harris, Robert L., Jr. is the author of 'Information Graphics A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference' with ISBN 9780195135329 and ISBN 0195135326.
