I don't know where this book came from or how long I've had it. But it has served to educate me about the rich plant life of my home town. I guess it was a Victorian tradition that while on vacation in exotic climes to load up a steamer trunk with seeds and shoots of interesting trees and flowers, bring them home and if not contribute to the local botanical garden at least spread them out all over your hometown. I've seen that story repeated on plaques at gardens all over the planet.

Envisioning Information

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.
