Quite an amusing use of visualization.
The Book is only Seven Chapters. I had to read this for Class. It's not the most impressive book.
I think, Engineering, Technical books would have been better use of my time. But anyway, there are basic concepts of Visualization in this book.
Note: Visualization is a human activity and not limited to Computer Science. This is a book that gives the theoretical side of Visualization, that includes Design.
How do you design a Chair?
Think of Limitations
How do you design a light-bulb?
Well, the book doesn't teach you, the know-how but gives a frame of reference to build upon the know-how.
I think of visualizations back in 90's in Windows and think of it now. How much has changed? If you're a curious person, wouldn't you want to know the underlying principles of it. I think of forming some materials before you can construct your own way.
Outline:
1) Introduction
2) Issues
3) Representation
4) Presentation
5) Interaction
6) Design
7) Case Studies
The meat of the book lays on Chapter 3, 4, 5.
Enjoy reading, I would recommend this to Computer Science, UX/UI, Design, HCI, Info Science Majors.
