Visual thinking
Posted By Russ Roberts On January 9, 2007 @ 3:04 pm In Education | Comments Disabled
I am always interested in different ways to present information which is why I like Edward Tufte’s work [1] so much. So here is a visual representation of various ways of visually representing things: A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods [2]. (HT: Boing Boing [3]) Go to the page and mouse over the elements. Don’t miss Sd and Ed, the two explicit bits of economics. I got a kick out of Kn. My wife and I are often anchored in the Bay of Mirth.
