Edward Tufte, like Richard Saul Wurman and Nigel Holmes, is a Explaination Graphics/Information Graphics specialist. He is interested in and also gives presentations on color and information, concepts like complexity and clarity, and ways to present statistical data in creative tables, graphics and semi-graphics. He is the author of the new book Beautiful Evidence, which Business Week raves as "A Brilliant Masterpiece, the Galileo of Graphics has done it again!" To me that is just one sign that Tufte is incredible! His designs are alive and vivid, yet clear and simple. His pieces are energetic and eye catching. He also uses humor in his work which is a nice spin on this branch of graphics.
