Images and quantities -- Visual and statistical thinking: displays of evidence for making decisions -- Explaining magic: pictorial instructions and disinformation design -- Smallest effective difference -- Parallelism: repetition and change, comparison and surprise -- Multiples in space and time -- Visual confections: juxtapositions from the ocean of the streams of story.
This book describes design strategies - the proper arrangement in space and time of images, words, and numbers - for presenting information about motion, process, mechanism, cause and effect.
