Aficionados of graphics may be interested to know that the English
translation (1984) of Jacques Bertin's
Semiology of Graphics has been reprinted by ESRI.
http://www.amazon.com/Semiology-Graphics-Diagrams-Networks-Maps/dp/0299090604
new edition:
http://www.amazon.com/Semiology-Graphics-Diagrams-Networks-Maps/dp/1589482611/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0
The long out-of-print 1984 edition sells for $380, but the new printing
is a bargain at ~$49.
It is all the more remarkable in that most of the diagrams and graphs
were drawn by hand,
yet show a palette of graphical techniques richer than our graphical
software provides
even today.
best,
-Michael
