This was one of his standard lectures on information presentation, for which he has become famous. As usual, it came complete with a set of his books. This was convenient since sometime in my last 4 moves and 3 jobs I lost my set.</p> <p>I’ve been a fan of Tufte since I first encountered his work as a freshman at MIT. His books contain wonderful examples of good informational graphics, graphics that display quantitative and relationship oriented data, drawn from many modern and historical sources. They are entertaining to read, and provide lots of inspiration for user interface and graphic design.</p>
