摘要

Writing a text or reference book on data visualization is surely a daunting task. Generally, authors walk a tightrope, paying homage to scientific theory but also reviewing design techniques so that readers can apply the theory to their own data sets. Rely too heavily on theory and authors run the risk of writing a book with which students and armchair practitioners cannot do much. Conversely, focus too much on visualization techniques with particular software packages and the book will not only become obsolete within a year but also seem too simplistic at best, irresponsibly negligent at worst. Nathan Yau, the author of Visualize This, is to be applauded for his daredevil approach: he essentially jumps off the tightrope toward the side of applicability. The verdict is still out whether his novel method is deserving of accolade or eulogy.
