<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:normal;MARGIN:4pt 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Visualizations (diagrams) are produced for people to make sense or interact with them. Rapid advances in display technology and computer power have enabled researchers to produce visually appealing pictures or compelling visual environments to end users. However, the effectiveness of those pictures in conveying embedded information to the users and impact of visual environments on humans have not been fully understood. </font></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:normal;MARGIN:4pt 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Calibri">This book addresses issues related to design, evaluation and application of visualizations from a human centric perspective.
