Visualization Analysis and Design, Tamara
Munzner (A K Peters Visualization Series, CRC Press, 2014) is further
reading for many of the topics covered in lecture. The UBC library has multiple ebook licenses: library
catalog page, EZProxy
direct link.
To buy your own copy online, it's cheapest to buy directly
from the publisher, it's currently listed at US$80 from CRC
but I'll give out promo code for 20% off in class so that it's US$64 for
you. It's probably fastest delivery from Amazon, it's now
US$75 new from amazon.com. It's
CD$105 from amazon.ca
and CD$107 from chapters.ca.
When you buy the hardcover book, you'll get the ebook version for free; you
can also buy an ebook-only for less.
Some further readings
are research papers available online, links posted above.
For digital library access from off-campus, use
EZproxy with your CWL login through the UBC library.
