4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful examples,
This review is from: Envisioning Information (Hardcover)
As many reviewers have noted, this book does not provide guidance. It is more like a museum with examples of interesting work. If you like to browse and you get inspired, perfect! If you desire guidance on design -- perhaps an earlier book by Tufte would be more suitable.

5.0 out of 5 stars
worth it for one example alone...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Envisioning Information (Hardcover)
... though there are plenty others in the book that are fascinating. I flipped open the book just now and arrived at a discussion of whether Maya Ying Lin's Vietnam Memorial should have had the names ordered by date of death or alphabetically. As there were over 600 Smiths who died in Vietnam and 16 James Joneses, an alphabetical listing would have given the memorial the flavor of a telephone directory. Tufte persuasively argues and demonstrates how graphic design and information presentation affects thinking, decision-making, and emotion.

Simply THE bible for every designer in the information age!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Envisioning Information (Hardcover)
Ed Tufte has created an essential resource for every software designer and developer that imparts the RELIGION of good design, while avoiding the typical lists of "do's" and "don'ts" that are so pervasive in design texts. Tufte offers incredible examples of his design concepts and the publication itself is a tangible example of extraordinary design.
