TOP

“TOP is a new publishing venture by Richard Saul Wurman. TOP’s book series covers the topics that matter in our lives. The key to TOP’s formula is the design of understanding. What makes TOP special is the attention of Wurman’s skilled family of writers, designers and researchers. Understanding comes from asking questions, not just listening to answers. Based on the questions most asked by consumers, the books’ answers are clear and informative.”

Edward Tufte: Graphic of the day

Tufte has begun posting and critiquing information graphics on his forum: “At this moderated forum, I will answer questions dealing with information design. Others can then extend the discussion. I will try to answer questions that have general interest or where I have something to say. Not all questions will be answered, usually because I don’t know the answer. Note that this is a public forum for the discussion of intellectual ideas involving information design.”
