This book celebrates escapes from the flatlands of both paper and computer screen, showing superb displays of high-dimensional complex data. The most design-oriented of Edward Tufte's books, Envisioning Information shows maps, charts, scientific presentations, diagrams, computer interfaces, statistical graphics and tables, stereo photographs, guidebooks, courtroom exhibits, timetables, use of color, a pop-up, and many other wonderful displays of information. The book provides practical advice about how to explain complex material by visual means, with extraordinary examples to illustrate the fundamental principles of information displays. Topics include escaping flatland, color and information, micro/macro designs, layering and separation, small multiples, and narratives. Winner of 17 awards for design and content. 400 illustrations with exquisite 6- to 12-color printing throughout. Highest quality design and production.
Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative is about pictures of verbs, the representation of mechanism and motion, process and dynamics, causes and effects, explanation and narrative. Practical applications and examples include statistical graphics, charts for making important decisions in engineering and medicine, technical manuals, diagrams, design of computer interfaces and websites and on-line manuals, animations and scientific visualizations, techniques for talks, and design strategies for enhancing the rate of information transfer in print, presentations, and computer screens. The use of visual evidence in deciding to launch the space shuttle Challenger is discussed in careful detail. Video snapshots show redesigns of a supercomputer animation of a thunderstorm. The book is designed and printed to the highest standards, with luscious color throughout and four built-in flaps for showing motion and before/after effects.

格式塔心理学诞生于1912年。它强调经验和行为的整体性，反对当时流行的构造主义元素学说和行为主义“刺激光器——反应”公式，认为整体不等于部分之和，意识不等于感觉元素的集合，行为不等于反射弧的循环。“格式塔”这个术语起始于视觉领域的研究，但它又不限于视觉领域，甚至不限于整个感觉领域，其应用范围远远超过感觉经验的限度。苛勒认为，形状意义上的“格式塔”已不再是格式塔心理学家们的注意中心；根据这个概念的功能定义，它可以包括学习、回忆、志向、情绪、思维、运动等等过程。广义地说，格式塔心理学家们用格式塔这个术语研究心理地学的整个领域。
