    Manuel Lima est une voix de premier plan dans le domaine de la visualisation de l'information et le fondateur de VisualComplexity.com. Son travail explore l'intersection de la culture humaine et de la représentation visuelle, en examinant les modèles d'information et les manières dont nous dépeignons des données complexes. Ses livres parcourent l'histoire et le présent de la visualisation des connaissances, de ses racines religieuses aux thèmes numériques contemporains. Fort de plus d'une décennie d'expérience dans la conception de produits numériques, Lima apporte une perspective riche au domaine de la conception de l'information.

      The New Designer
    • Blogging presents one of the most fascinating social phenomenons of our time. This change in the flow of online information might radically change the way we look at news providers and large media conglomerates. The result of a MFA thesis at Parsons School of Design, Blogviz is a flash driven visualization model for mapping the transmission and internal structure of top links across the blogosphere. It explores the idea of meme propagation by assuming a parallel with the spreading of most cited URLs in daily weblog entries. The main goal of Blogviz is to unravel hidden patterns in the topics diffusion process. What’s the life cycle of a topic? How does it start and how does it evolve through time? Are topics constrained to a specific community of users? Who are the most influential and innovative blogs in any topic? Are there any relationships amongst topic proliferators?

      Our critically acclaimed bestseller Visual Complexity was the first in-depth examination of the burgeoning field of information visualization. Particularly noteworthy are the numerous historical examples of past efforts to make sense of complex systems of information. In this new companion volume, The Book of Trees, data viz expert Manuel Lima examines the more than eight hundred year history of the tree diagram, from its roots in the illuminated manuscripts of medieval monasteries to its current resurgence as an elegant means of visualization. Lima presents two hundred intricately detailed tree diagram illustrations on a remarkable variety of subjects—from some of the earliest known examples from ancient Mesopotamia to the manuscripts of medieval monasteries to contributions by leading contemporary designers. A timeline of capsule biographies on key figures in the development of the tree diagram rounds out this one-of-a-kind visual compendium.
