Enormous quantities of data go unused or underused today, simply because people can't visualize the quantities and relationships in it. Using a downloadable programming environment developed by the author, Visualizing Data demonstrates methods for representing data accurately on the Web and elsewhere, complete with user interaction, animation, and more.

How do the 3.1 billion A, C, G and T letters of the human genome compare to those of a chimp or a mouse? What do the paths that millions of visitors take through a web site look like? With Visualizing Data, you learn how to answer complex questions like these with thoroughly interactive displays. We're not talking about cookie-cutter charts and graphs. This book teaches you how to design entire interfaces around large, complex data sets with the help of a powerful new design and prototyping tool called "Processing."

Used by many researchers and companies to convey specific data in a clear and understandable manner, the Processing beta is available free. With this tool and Visualizing Data as a guide, you'll learn basic visualization principles, how to choose the right kind of display for your purposes, and how to provide interactive features that will bring users to your site over and over. This book teaches you:

  • The seven stages of visualizing data -- acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine, and interact
  • How all data problems begin with a question and end with a narrative construct that provides a clear answer without extraneous details
  • Several example projects with the code to make them work
  • Positive and negative points of each representation discussed. The focus is on customization so that each one best suits what you want to convey about your data set
The book does not provide ready-made "visualizations" that can be plugged into any data set. Instead, with chapters divided by types of data rather than types of display, you'll learn how each visualization conveys the unique properties of the data it represents -- why the data was collected, what's interesting about it, and what stories it can tell. Visualizing Data teaches you how to answer questions, not simply display information.

Very thin & no support
Size: Queen (U.S. Standard)
I was thinking these pillows were going to be kind of firm with the way they are described and the picture but they are very thin and when I laid down on it, it was like whatever is in the pillow just instantly moved to each side of my head. Definitely not for me and my neck issues.

Back sleeper here
Size: Standard
So since they were listed as down alternative, I was interested to see if they had that artificially puffy feel to them. They do get puffed up really well after a day. And the fabric is cool and comfortable. I do feel like these have good quality stuffing and the cover feels nice. I'm a back sleeper and it's just the right amount of bulk under my neck. I usually bunch the pillow up a little bit there so there's a little more pressure under my neck but with these it just felt good to lay on it without having to bunch it up in any special way. So I would definitely recommend them. So far I'm really liking having these pillows.

Nice and Fluffy
Size: Standard
These "down alternative" pillows have been a winner for me. Came two to a package and once they have a couple of days our of the vacuum packaging are nice and fluffy with no noticable odor. Just the right amount of "spring" to them for my taste. Also don't overheat my face/neck as traditional down pillows sometimes have.
