"Remarkable range of examples for the idea of visual thinking with beautifully printed pages. A real treat for all who reason and learn by means of images." RUDOLF ARNHEIM "A magnificent sequel to Tufte's classic The Visual Display of Quantitative Information." AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL MONTHLY Best Graphic Design of the Year, ID, International Design "Keep this book with the few others that you'll pass on to the next generation. It is a passionate, elegant revelation of how to render the 3 dimensions of experience into the 2 dimensions of paper and screen. As in his other books, Tufte is promoting a new standard of visual literacy. Immaculately printed in 23 colors, this book is a lyrical primer of design strategies for reading and creating messages in 'flatland.' No other book has been so highly recommended to us by so many different varieties of professionals -- architects, teachers, technicians, hackers, and artists." KEVIN KELLY, WHOLE EARTH REVIEW
