为什么值得读
- 对挑战者号发射警示被忽视的原因分析深刻
- 超越纯数据可视化，对程序员更具启发价值
- 适合每天翻阅数页、循序渐进地学习
护封设计：Dmitry Krasny。其他插图绘制：Bonnie Scranton、Dmitry Krasny 和 Weilin Wu。鲜有人会否认：信息时代的生活往往令人应接不暇。通过计算机、Internet、媒体，甚至是日常报纸，我们被看似无休无止的图表、地图、信息图（infographics）、示意图和数据所淹没。Visual Explanations 是穿行在这片汹涌信息之海的航行指南。对于从事平面、网页或多媒体设计的专业人士，以及在演讲或课堂上使用图形的教育工作者和讲师而言，本书都是不可或缺的参考指南

我本科上软件工程课时读过一篇关于这个的非常有意思的文章（节选自 Tufte 的力作《Visual Explanations》，讲的是挑战者号航天飞机事故）。核心要点不在于管理层有多恶意，而在于“信息的展现方式”（PPT 幻灯片）实在是糟糕透顶……
I read a really interesting article on this in my undergraduate software engineering course (an excerpt from Tufte's excellent "Visual Explanations" book dealing with the shuttle Challenger mishap). The main takeaway was not that it was malicious management, but rather that the _way the information was portrayed_ (slides) did a remarkably poor job…
在《Visual Explanations》（http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_visex）中，Edward Tufte 写了一篇必读的深度剖析，分析了推迟发射的警告为何被置若罔闻。
In “Visual Explanations” http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_visex Edward Tufte wrote a must-read analysis of why admonitions to postpone the launch were ignored.
……想学小写的“设计思维（design thinking）”，我的 top 10 书单：* 《设计心理学》（Design for Everyday Things）——这还用说嘛，我隔三差五就重读几章。* Tufte——很难只挑一本，我可能偏不随大流，选《Visual Explanations》，我觉得比起纯粹的数据可视化，它能给程序员带来更多收获。同样，每天抽出一本来随手翻个三四页，循环往复。* 《用户故事地图》（User Story Mapping）——印象极深的好书，它给出了……
…learn lower-case "design thinking", my top 10 books * Design for Everyday Things - duh. I re-read chunks of it all the time. * Tufte - hard to pick one, I might actually be iconoclastic and go with Visual Explanations which I think has more to offer programmers over pure data visualization. Again, just grab one every day, flip through 3-4 pages, rinse, repeat. * User Story Mapping - Extremely memorable book - it gives…
……《设计心理学》（Norman 著）；《字体排印要素》（Robert Bringhurst 著）；Edward R. Tufte 的《定量信息的视觉展示》、《构想信息》、《视觉解释：图像与数量、证据与叙事》、《美丽的证据》；E. F. Schumacher 的《小的是美好的》；Johannes Itten 的《色彩艺术》。如果我要开一门课……

……在我看来，《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫》简直就是圣经一般的存在。而另一套被我视为“一本”圣经的书，则是 Edward Tufte 的：(1) 《定量信息的视觉展示》，(2) 《构想信息》，(3) 《视觉解释》，以及 (4) 《美丽的证据》。
…Escher Bach is fairly bible-ish if you ask me Another set of books I consider to be "one" bible are Edward Tufte's (1) The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, (2) Envisioning Information, (3) Visual Explanations and (4) Beautiful Evidence.
《Proofiness》：https://www.amazon.com/Proofiness-Youre-Being-Fooled-Numbers... 这也是 Tufte 书中的一个常见主题：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tufte 我很喜欢《视觉解释：图像与数量、证据与叙事》（Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative）：https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Explanations-Quantities-Eviden...
"Proofiness" : https://www.amazon.com/Proofiness-Youre-Being-Fooled-Numbers... It is also a common tread in books by Tufte : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tufte I like "Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative" : https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Explanations-Quantities-Eviden...
