Edward R. Tufte is a seminal statistician who has written extensively on the subject of information design. His books The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Envisioning Information, Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative and Beautiful Evidence explore visual literacy and look at the visual communication of information. For many years these books have been at the forefront of a graphic design student's sensibilities. However Tufte's extensive investigation into visual language can do nothing but benefit anyone who has any intention of communicating meaning through images.
