This book was written for statisticians, computer scientists, geographers, researchers, and others interested in visualizing data. It presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals, newspapers, statistical packages, and data visualization systems. While the tangible results of this work have been several visualization software libraries, this book focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. What are the rules that underlie the production of pie charts, bar charts, scatterplots, function plots, maps, mosaics, and radar charts? Those less interested in the theoretical and mathematical foundations can still get a sense of the richness and structure of the system by examining the numerous and often unique color graphics it can produce. The second edition is almost twice the size of the original, with six new chapters and substantial revision. Much of the added material makes this book suitable for survey courses in visualization and statistical graphics.
“This fascinating book deconstructs the process of producing graphics and in doing so raises many fascinating questions on the nature and representation of information…This second edition is almost twice the size of the original, with six new chapters and substantial revisions.”
Short Book Reviews of the International Statistical Institute, December 2005
“When the first edidtion of this book appeared in 2000 it was much praised. I called it a tour de force of the highest order. (Wainer, 2001), Edward Wegman (2000) argued that it was destined to become a classic. Now, six years later this very fine book has been much improved.”
Howard Wainer for Psychometrika
“…The second edition is an impressive expansion beyond a quite remarkable first edition. The text remains dense and even more encyclopedic, but it is a pleasure to read, whether a novice or an expert in graphics…this book is a bargain…The second edition is a must-have volume for anyone interested in graphics.”
Thomas E. Bradstreet for the Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2006
“I find myself still thinking about the book and its ideas, several weeks after I finished reading it. I love that kind of book.”
Mark Bailey for Techometrics, Vol. 49, No. 1, February 2007
