Product Description

Product Description
This work combines a strictly scientific approach to human perception with a consistently practical concern for the rules governing the effective visual presentation of information. Readers can apply these principles to optimise visual information for consumption by others. They can also improve their own analyses by adopting display strategies that make data patterns and their significance easier to discern. Because of focuses on the psychological and physiological principles underlying perception, this book transcends the approaches to visual display that have evolved separately in invidual disciplines.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely terrible., 2 Sep 2001
By A Customer
A poorly organized mish-mash of facts and opinions with little evidence of real purpose to the writing and no visible direction. Dreadful. The author seems incapable of deciding when and where to discuss each of the topics he wishes to include but jumps back and forth seemingly at random never completing any one of them or providing enough information to give the reader any insight at all into the topic of information visualization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all, 25 Feb 2002
... This is the book I would have liked to have written. It is an overview of the perceptual factors that should be taken into account when preparing visualisations. It is not a step-by-step account of how to do a specific visualisation, but notes on what to think about and some nice examples of visualisations from various fields.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 1 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This is a great book, covering important perceptual issues that are relevant when designing information visualisations. I particularly liked the discussion on the Gestalt laws. As a computer scientist, this book provided an accessible psychological prospective into the world of information visualisation.

I recommend it as a companion to Robert Spence's book on Information Visualisation and the book by Card, Mackinlay and Shneiderman (buy all three).
