Envisioning Information

Recently skimmed through this book "Envisioning Information" written by Edward R. Tufte. Though it is published in 1990, the concept of visualization is kinda useful.

I did not read closely page by page, basically I just look at the graphs and try to get the idea of what he is trying to explain. Not bad! Below I would like to list the chapter titles of this book, which are the main concept of thinking about visualization I think.

Micro/Macro Readings
Layering and Separation
Small Multiples
Color and Information
Narratives of Space and Time

Definitely I will come back and read through the whole book in detail. But for now I just wanna get some idea whirling in my head when I am searching for ideas.
