Visual Insights: A Practical Guide to Making Sense of Data (Mit Press)

I got this book because I am taking the IVMOOC class offered by Katy Borner/Indiana University.I've done data visualization for the last six years, primarily with Maltego penetration tester's toolkit and Gephi. The Sci2 tool introduced by this class can do many things the other two platforms can not and the underlying theory being taught is good as well.Prior to this I took Lada Adamic's Social Network Analysis class and Matt Jackson's Social and Economic Networks: Models and Analysis, both on Coursera. We're learning to handle temporal, topical, geospatial data, and networks in the IVMOOC class. It's technically less challenging than the others, it's more about exploring the Sci2 tool set and visualizing stuff you already understand a bit.Will refer others to the class as well as purchasing this book.

I was looking for a book to help explain details of manipulating network visualizations and this book was very clear and has a lot of examples. I had also started using Sci2 and this book focuses on that toolset specifically so was very useful. However if someone is looking for a book more generally about visualization and they are NOT using Sci2, this book might be frustrating because it is so focused on that tool specifically.

Brilliant and stimulating work. Links with the pioneering studies being done by Dr. Boerner at Indiana University and for various federal agencies...

This is a gorgeous book, and it represents truly breakthrough work that is changing how people look at and understand information. It is probably best for a scholar or librarian - it is not a book for the average reader.

Companion to an Information Visualisation MOOC, [...] ... but this book is good enough to stand on its own.Great full color visualisations in the book. Almost like a coffee table book for people who are into information visualisation.

This is a clear text with great diagrams and accompanying graphs, appropriate for those interested in info vis or taking Indiana University's Information Visualization MOOC.

Arrived on time, as described.

one of best books about data visualization. Very informative and beautiful

Excelente opción, llegó en muy buen estado.
