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 Börner 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","brand":"Mit Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45037587071127,"sku":"9780262028813","price":4823.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262028813.webp?v=1769215075","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/atlas-of-knowledge-anyone-can-map-9780262028813","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
