Information Visualization, Third Edition: Perception for Design (Interactive Technologies)
"Oh my God, the Bible just got better. There is no book that I rely on more in my work thanInformation Visualization: Perception for Design, and with this third edition Colin Ware has made it more indispensible and easier to apply than ever."--Stephen Few, Principal, Perceptual Edge"Drawing on his background in both computer science and the psychology of perception, Ware (coastal and ocean mapping, U. of New Hampshire) has become a leader in three-dimensional visualization systems, such as ocean currents and the movement of whales. For this third edition of his reference on what the science of perception reveals about visualization, he has clarified the design implications of research in perception, and increased the emphasis on the process of visual thinking. The topics include foundations for an applied science of data visualization, color, static and moving pictures, visual objects and data objects, and interacting with visualization."--Reference and Research Book News, August 2012, page 7
