Edward Tufte has been described by The New York Times as "The Leonardo da Vinci of Data." Tufte turns information into art, his most recent book, Beautiful Evidence, is filled with hundreds of illustrations. The concept of Tufte's books is that good design is timeless, while bad design can be a matter of life and death. Tufte teaches daylong seminars in information design, he has also taught at Yale and Princeton.
