Its emphasis is on real-world examples and applications of computer-generated/interactive information visualization. Readers will learn how to display information pick out key information from large data streams; present ideas clearly and effectively; and increase the usability and efficiency of computer systems. It takes a dynamic approach to the subject using software examples on an associated website. This book is appropriate for readers interested in information visualization, human-computer interaction, business information technology, and computer graphics

Imagine you are in the railway station, The Book is laid out as the map to get to your final destination.
Quite an amusing use of visualization.
The Book is only Seven Chapters. I had to read this for Class. It's not the most impressive book.
I think, Engineering, Technical books would have been better use of my time. But anyway, there are basic concepts of Visualization in this book.
Note: Visualization is a human activity and not limited to Computer Science. This is a book that gives the theoretical side of Visualization, that includes Design.
How do you design a Chair?
Think of Limitations
How do you design a light-bulb?
Well, the book doesn't teach you, the know-how but gives a frame of reference to build upon the know-how.
I think of visualizations back in 90's in Windows and think of it now. How much has changed? If you're a curious person, wouldn't you want to know the underlying principles of it. I think of forming some materials before you can construct your own way.
Outline:
1) Introduction
2) Issues
3) Representation
4) Presentation
5) Interaction
6) Design
7) Case Studies
The meat of the book lays on Chapter 3, 4, 5.
Enjoy reading, I would recommend this to Computer Science, UX/UI, Design, HCI, Info Science Majors.

Beautiful graphics. High paper quality, good graphics, although a little too advanced in theory for what I was looking for.
