The book of trees : visualizing branches of knowledge
Manuel Lima (Author)
Data visualization expert Manuel Lima examines 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 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
