The Art of Data Visualization
summary
A whirlwind survey of historical and modern graphics that points to specific techniques and findings: shows a 1954 life-span chart, a 1972 subway map-style diagram, a Chicago-centered airport delay rings visualization that highlights surprising hub effects, a color-coded map of G20 versus non-G20 emissions, and a river-as-transit metaphor. Demonstrates an interactive protest timeline that links days to news articles and compiles a 4,000-prediction meta-horoscope into a single word-frequency summary. Tools are shown as demos and examples rather than code.
