I just stumbled across a huge list of recommended books and texts for learning all about scientific visualization, design, human vision, and much much more. The list is huge, but from a quick glance I found several books I’m going to have to check out. For starters:
- The Reconfigured Eye: Visual Truth in the Post-Photographic Era
- The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants (The Virtual Laboratory)
- Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice in C (2nd Edition)
- Information Visualization, Second Edition: Perception for Design
- Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (Interactive Technologies)
- The Computer in the Visual Arts
- Visual Computing (Scientific American Library)
- How To Lie With Charts: Second Edition
- Envisioning Information
- Non-Designer’s Design Book, The (3rd Edition)
- The Scientific Image: From Cave to Computer
- The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition
- Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative
- Visual Literacy: A Conceptual Approach to Graphic Problem Solving
- The Psychology of Graphic Images: Seeing, Drawing, Communicating (Volume in the University of Alberta, Department of Psychology, Distinguished Scholar Lecture)
- Handbook of Visual Analysis
- Visual Intelligence: Perception, Image, and Manipulation in Visual Communication
There’s a lot more in the complete list, but for some reason almost none of the books actually link to anywhere you can buy them.
