DATA DESIGN: VISUALISING QUANTITIES, LOCATIONS, CONNECTIONS
Book ID/图书代码： 02000015B85546
English Summary/英文概要： Data Design: Visualising Quantities, Locations, Connections is a beautifully designed, highly practical guide to the graphic representation of quantities, locations, connections and other forms of data, founded on solid design principles.
Easy to understand, the book has been created to assist designers, researchers, and writers in expressing visually through points, lines, and areas that which by words, letters, and numbers alone often have difficulty communicating. It describes problems, principles, and solutions for the visual display of information, and presents real-world didactic examples, taken from, for example, the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal.
The book’s theoretical basis is strong, but not at the expense of clarity; readers will understand both what to do and why. After a number of introductory chapters that describe what is common to all types of visual displays, the book continues with three main parts that deal with displays showing quantities, locations, and connections.
Data Design is an essential guide to how data can, and should be, presented in order to effortlessly communicate information with clarity, elegance and style. Highly illustrated and with beautiful simplicity, Data Design is an indispensable guide to the clear and effective presentation of information.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《数据设计: 想象数量、位置、连接》是一部透过199个指导数据显示生动和全面介绍数据可视化的科普读物。本书是设计师、记者、编辑、作家和任何一位，想要通过明确和有效的方式，来表述事实信息所设计的最佳参考读物。
《数据设计》重点突出介绍了良好的数据可视化的重要特征: 准确性、简单化和清晰度。本着这一精神，作者Per Mollerup用非常明确的信息和我们探讨了每一条信息设计。拟议的数据显示要尽可能简单，还有每个图形元素又要传达的意义。这本书不是关于数据装饰。
《数据设计》可以让你从头至尾的阅读，但它并不需要你一定要去全篇累牍。它也可以作为一个参考指南。对每一列的数据显示包括了澄清要解决的问题的方法，以及用那种方法来解决它们，使读者能够发展技能，提高他们的数据可视化设计。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：This book is intelligent and wise, clear and beautiful, stimulating and useful. It distills and presents in one place a mountain of research results and tried-and-true best practices. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in visual communication. -- Stephen M. Kosslyn, Minerva School of Arts and Sciences at the Keck Graduate Institute, USA I love the economy of expression in Per Mollerup’s writing. He applies the classic Danish design approach (modern but human) to the explanation of design, isolating the essence of a topic, then explaining it simply. This book joins his seminal ’Wayshowing’ as an essential text. -- Rob Waller, Simplification Centre, UK With the key words communicate, record and understand, Mollerup guides the reader in how to design complex data to facilitate the interpretation act. Generous well-designed visualizations and explanations work together as useful guidelines for anyone that frequently presents quantities, locations and connections. -- Yvonne Eriksson, Malardalen University, Sweden
