Beautiful Evidence

Science and art have in common intense seeing, the wide-eyed observing that generates visual information. Beautiful Evidence is about how seeing turns into showing, how data and evidence turn into explanation. The book identifies excellent and effective methods for showing nearly every kind of information, suggests many new designs (including sparklines), and provides analytical tools for assessing the credibility of evidence presentations (which are seen from both sides: how to produce and how to consume presentations). For alert consumers of presentations, there are chapters on diagnosing evidence corruption and PowerPoint pitches. Beautiful Evidence concludes with 2 chapters that leave the world of pixel and paper flatland representations - and move onto seeing and thinking in space land, the real-land of three-space and time.

Seeing with Fresh Eyes: Meaning Space Data Truth

Graphics Press LLC

Review\n'All communicators should read Edward Tufte's latest book. Every page is packed with stunning visual and written insights on the art of communication, by ET who sees the world with the freshest of eyes.' Natalie Wolchover, Quanta\n'Edward Tufte is the revelatory retina of our time, ever connecting eye and brain in enlightening new ways. He creates masterpieces about design that are themselves masterpieces of design. Seeing with Fresh Eyes: Meaning, Space, Data, Truth takes all that he knows into a yet deeper level of wisdom and wider realm of inquiry. A completely delicious work.' Stewart Brand, creator of the Whole Earth Catalog\n'A magnificent work of art design insight philosophy. Just as Wittgenstein found deep meaning in ordinary language, Tufte discovers insights in ordinary graphics. Not only graphics, but lists and stacks, which with his eye take on new significance. The chapter on the ethics (and lack thereof) in medical research is a masterpiece, deserving of wide distribution and readership. It is a public service.' Dennis F.
