But just as often, it has been used to uncover oppression and bring about change. \u003ci\u003eData by Design\u003c\/i\u003e journeys across continents and over centuries to expose the power of visualization—and to show how it can be wielded back. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA group of British antislavery activists who created a diagram of captives in the hold of a ship, accelerating support for the abolitionist cause.

These are but two stories of many, each expertly analyzed and illustrated in full-color detail, that confirm how visualization can lead to a more liberatory world. A set of new images, created by Lauren Klein and her research team—also viewable on an interactive website—further expands our sense of what visualization, when used with intention and care, can achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA book for those who love charts and graphs, and for those who create them, \u003ci\u003eData by Design \u003c\/i\u003eoffers historical grounding, ethical clarity—and the inspiration we need—to envision a more just future.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":49022874878179,"sku":"DTRMTUS-9780262056182","price":320.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780262056182.jpg?v=1779941290","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9780262056182","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
