In the brave new world of virtual conferences, we've still got a book table at #ieeevis for @CRCPress! It's virtual too. Here's a thread of what's new in the past year, and what's forthcoming, in our visualization books.
@CRCPress Delighted to announce a brand new book that's coming out next week on Nov 2: Visualizing with Text, by @rkbrath!
@CRCPress @rkbrath Very cool that the companion site for Visualizing with Text includes many @observablehq demos

@CRCPress @rkbrath Blog from @rkbrath about the making of Visualizing with Text is a rich trove of thoughtful posts! Not too late to see his talk at #ieeevis yesterday, videos for @VIS4DH are up

@CRCPress @rkbrath @VIS4DH Our other big book launch earlier in 2020 was a groundbreaking visual analytics textbook:

Interactive Visual Data Analysis, from Christian Tominski and Heidi Schumann

Should be of great interest to many at #ieeevis, especially at #vast

@CRCPress @rkbrath @VIS4DH IVDA book site from Tominski and Schumann also includes over 250 figures available as CC-BY: all screenshots are custom recreations without copyright restrictions, not just re-used figures from original #ieeevis papers. Fantastic teaching resource!

@CRCPress IVDA book making-of snippets preview here, in case #ieeevis folks can't wait for upcoming full blog post :-)

@CRCPress I announce with trembling pleasure the upcoming appearance of a great book - about a great project:

Data Sketches, from @NadiehBremer and @sxywu

I say this to #ieeevis and beyond!

@CRCPress @NadiehBremer @sxywu I'm over the moon that we'll have a book version to document the richness of the datasketch.es project in archival and beautiful form - with more new writeups in the book!

@NadiehBremer #ieeevis talk already posted at


@CRCPress @NadiehBremer @sxywu My own Visualization Analysis and Design book is the first in the series.

Half-day #ieeevis tutorial video up at

VAD book site just updated to include link to slides, cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/vadbook/
(& all diagram figures posted CC-BY!)

@CRCPress @NadiehBremer @sxywu The third book in the AK Peters Visualization series is Data-Driven Storytelling, a topic that continues to be explored at #ieeevis on the research side and is of great interest to practitioners in data journalism and beyond.

@CRCPress @NadiehBremer @sxywu The second book in the series is Information Theory Tools for Visualization, launched at #ieeevis 2016

@CRCPress @NadiehBremer @sxywu The authors of Info Theory Tools - Min Chen, Miquel Feixas, Ivan Viola, Anton Bardera, Han-Wei Shen, Mateu Sbert - are active across many facets of #ieeevis

@CRCPress @NadiehBremer @sxywu I'm series editor of the AK Peters Visualization series, alongside @EMorsia who is CS editor at @CRCPress.

#ieeevis folks note there are more visualization books appearing through many of the other lines as well

@CRCPress @EMorsia The Data Storytelling Workbook by Anna Feigenbaum and
aria alamalhodaei

#ieeevis folks note focus on better data stories for social change, human rights, social equity.

follow link to see blurbs from @kanarinka and others:

@CRCPress @EMorsia Another longstanding denizen of our physical book table, Field Guide to Digital Color, from #ieeevis contributor Maureen Stone (now of @tableau), remains my personal go-to source on the subject

routledge.com/A-Field-Guide-…
@CRCPress @EMorsia and @tmrhyne's Applying Color Theory to Digital Media and Visualization has also been on our #ieeevis book table since its debut in 2016

Félicitations to Jean-Daniel Fekete on the #ieeevis #vgtc technical achievement award! I always love award talks showcasing career highlights and great collaborators, this one is no exception.
Félicitations to Catherine Plaisant on the #ieeevis #vgtc career award! Another lovely retrospective talk.
So very delighted that the Polaris paper from Chris Stolte, Pat Hanrahan, and Diane Tang -- which led directly to @tableau -- won the #ieeevis #infovis 20 year Test of Time award. Seeing it grow over the weeks and months was a great part of my Stanford years.

Dove into virtual #ieeevis this morning, along with many others. I've found lots to like already about virtual.ieeevis.org, especially the shuffle by serendipity papers browser. I'll likely be tweeting a lot this week, enjoy or mute as you see fit!
Started off #ieeevis with a bang, my own Visualization Analysis and Design tutorial is running first thing, even as I type. Slides and all videos on our own group's YouTube already posted, see cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/talks.htm…
Just posted a handy thing in the #ieeevis tutorial discord that some folks might not know about: the page from the VAD book site with all my further reading suggestions in one spot, complete with links for all the papers! cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/vadbook/f…

Great start to #ieeevis on Sun morning at #belivws: fiery keynote on open science from @Protohedgehog so good and dense that I just sat back to absorb inspiration for new and better ways to fight the good fight.
@Protohedgehog Good point from @amcrisan following up @Protohedgehog 'penguin metaphor' - not fair that junior penguins asked to test the waters for killer whales while senior tenured penguins wait comfortably on the shore
#ieeevis #belivws
@Protohedgehog @amcrisan Appreciated @Protohedgehog emphasis on all four pillars of OS: in addition to reproducibility, also access, serials, evaluation. Articulate calling out perpetuators of paywalls including commercial (El$evier) and academic (IEEE is major offender) #ieeevis #belivws
