Beautiful Visualization

April 15th is tax day in the USA, and also the publishing date of "Beautiful Visualization" by the O'Ŗeilly empire! I have a chapter in this book on network visualization. The book will be published in full color.

In my chapter, I discuss how to derive network maps from simple data like "the choices people make" and "the events people attend." I apply social network analysis to easily accessible data. There is a lot of relational information in the public datasphere... I show you how to spot those relations, and look for interesting patterns.
