The book’s chapters follow pretty closely the actual set of steps that need to be accomplished before data can be visualized, from the design of the survey to the collection of the data to ultimately its visualization. Really pretty simple. So if you’re fairly new to the game, it is probably going to make sense for you to start at the beginning and read the whole way through the book. Likew…

Communication: Patterns and Incidents

According to its title this book is about communication. The title will appear appropriate or inappropriate, I suppose, to the extent that the reader's visualization of "communication" coincides with the author's. Perhaps it would be helpful to indicate what this book is not about. It does not, for example, deal with much of the subject matter usually developed in texts of public, conversa…

Fact and Value in Emotion

David Hume famously claimed that one cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is,’ or in less poetic terms, one cannot derive a value from a fact. Hume was arguing that the imperatives given to our preferences, goals and actions are derived from emotion and not from logical reasoning. Emotion, therefore, had a prominent place in Hu -me’s thinking.
