"The era of Big Data as arrived, and most organizations are woefully unprepared. Slowly, many are discovering that stalwarts like Excel spreadsheets, KPIs, standard reports, and even traditional business intelligence tools aren't sufficient. These old standbys can't begin to handle today's increasing streams, volumes, and types of data. Amidst all of the chaos, though, a new type of organization is emerging. In The Visual Organization, award-winning author and technology expert Phil Simon looks at how an increasingly number of organizations are embracing new dataviz tools and, more important, a new mind-set based upon data discovery and exploration. Simon adroitly shows how Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other tech heavyweights use powerful data visualization tools to garner fascinating insights into their businesses. But make no mistake: these companies are hardly alone. Organizations of all types, industries, sizes are representing their data in new and amazing ways. As a result, they are asking better questions and making better business decisions. Rife with real-world examples and case studies, The Visual Organization is a full-color tour-de-force"--

Since the beginning of the computer age, researchers from many disciplines have sought to facilitate people's use of computers and to provide ways for scientists to make sense of the immense quantities of data coming out of them. One gainful result of these efforts has been the field of information visualization, whose technology is increasingly applied in scientific research, digital libraries, data mining, financial data analysis, market studies, manufacturing production control, and data discovery.This book collects 38 of the key papers on information visualization from a leading

Docteur ès-Lettres, Cartographe-Géographe, Jacques Bertin était directeur d'études à l'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS). Fondateur du Laboratoire de Graphique, on lui doit notamment : La Sémiologie Graphique (1967, 1973, 2005), La Graphique et le traitement graphique de l'information (1977, six traductions, diverses procédures graphiques automatiques et de nombreuses cartes et projections devenues classiques. L'invention de la sémiologie graphique s'ancre dans une formation classique puisque Jacques Bertin fait partie des premières générations d'élèves de l'École de cartographie créée en 1934. Au début des années cinquante, Jacques Bertin, jeune chercheur au CNRS, rejoint une équipe pluridisciplinaire dirigée par le sociologue Paul-Henri Chombart de Lauwe qui mène une étude sur l'espace social de la région parisienne. A cette époque, Jacques Bertin, chargé de la recherche graphique, veut résumer l'expression graphique en «quelques règles simples, confirmées par l'expérience, auxquelles s'ajouteraient un peu de technique et de l'esprit critique». Son approche est marquée par l'expansion de la sémiotique des années 1970 dans la lignée des travaux de Saussure dans son Cours de linguistique générale (1911). Quelque peu oublié dans son pays d'origine (les rééditions françaises se sont longtemps fait attendre), cette sémiologie du graphisme est souvent citée dans les travaux américains.

Giving social scientists and students a solid introduction to Geographical Information Systems (GIS), this study focuses on some of society's most pressing issues, including growth, pollution, and economic development. By calling upon such high-end analytical tools as Global Positioning System navigation and satellite imagery, GIS can be a critical tool in examining social problems. This study encourages readers to be visionary and even utopian in imagining better urban futures by concentrating on three related topics& urbanization, conflicts between natural and built environments, and regional equity. The introductory and spatial analysis chapters expand this understanding so that readers see both urban problems and urban opportunities more clearly.
