Envisioning Information , Tufte's most recent book, is dedicated to presenting strategies for enhancing the design of information. By drawing on a series of examples ranging from topological maps to train schedules, Tufte discusses five principles of information design: macro/micro readings; layering and separation; small multiples; color and information; and space and time. He devotes a chapter to each principle, using examples mainly designed to convey numerical, referential, or tabular data (e.g., a graph, a directory, or a chart).
