Maps of topical spaces help us visualize the extent and structure of our collective knowledge; they reveal bursts of activity, pathways of ideas, and borders that beg to be crossed. This book, from the author of \u003ci\u003eAtlas of Science\u003c\/i\u003e, describes the power of topical maps, providing readers with principles for visualizing knowledge and offering as examples forty large-scale and more than 100 small-scale full-color maps. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, data literacy is becoming as important as language literacy. Well-designed visualizations can rescue us from a sea of data, helping us to make sense of information, connect ideas, and make better decisions in real time. In \u003ci\u003eAtlas of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e, leading visualization expert Katy B rner makes the case for a systems science approach to science and technology studies and explains different types and levels of analysis. Drawing on fifteen years of teaching and tool development, she introduces a theoretical framework meant to guide readers through user and task analysis; data preparation, analysis, and visualization; visualization deployment; and the interpretation of science maps. To exemplify the framework, the Atlas features striking and enlightening new maps from the popular \"Places \u0026amp; Spaces: Mapping Science\" exhibit that range from \"Key Events in the Development of the Video Tape Recorder\" to \"Mobile Landscapes: Location Data from Cell Phones for Urban Analysis\" to \"Literary Empires: Mapping Temporal and Spatial Settings of Victorian Poetry\" to \"Seeing Standards: A Visualization of the Metadata Universe.\" She also discusses the possible effect of science maps on the practice of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katy Borner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262028816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262028813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 13.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2015 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2015","brand":"Katy Borner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913514385663,"sku":"9780262028813","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f73d39e7-9aad-48df-bae4-8fad743f0db7.jpg?v=1680620789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atlas-of-knowledge-katy-borner-9780262028813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
