Trees are one of the most ubiquitous religious symbols across the world. From ancient Sumer to Christianity, from the Maya civilization to Buddhism, there’s hardly a human society over the ages that hasn’t associated trees with some sort of celestial and religious power.
Due to its expressive quality and natural branching scheme, trees have also become important communication tools, illustrating a variety of topics such as family ties, moral values, systems of law, domains of science, biological species, hard disk drives, database schemas, and online discussions.
The Book of Trees covers over 800 years of human culture through the lens of the tree figure, from its entrenched roots in religious medieval exegesis to its contemporary, secular digital themes. With roughly 200 images the book offers a visual evolutionary history of this universal metaphor, showing us the incremental adoption of a stylized, abstract construct, as well as a recent emergence of new visual models, many employing advanced computer-generated algorithms. Ultimately, this book makes visualization a prism through which to observe the evolution of civilization.
很不错的一本书,进一步加深了我们对于树状结构与人类知识体系之间关系的理解。是用现代可视化技术展现俺蓝皮书第3-4页想法的好东东。1月底在卓越预定,昨日收到。
评分光顾着看图片,虽然文字介绍也很累赘,但实在是太美了!!有意思的是全书以Visualizing Branches of Knowledge为主线,从中世纪一直谈到当代如何将Tree为主要模型,来层次化地展现知识结构。由于Tree是此前学计算机时最重要的Hierarchical Structure概念,所以翻读时脑子里扫过的CS和图论里的抽象、形式的建构。可惜此书既没有指出A tree is a graph that is connected and acyclic的本质,亦没有解释这样的架构为何受人偏爱--很明显是太便于Sorting了,相比之下很不喜欢treemap,不仅格式不,数据可视化的信息量很少且误导性很重,就算sunburst和icicle tree也不过是块状的树,真是不美观 M
