Edward Tufte is the author of several books about information design. The first I remember with a visually/ graphically stunning cover was: Envisioning Information (1990). One of his newest books is Beautiful Evidence (2006).
He recently was appointed to the White House to a panel called Recovery Independent Advisory Panel. His expertise will be used to find and map/chart data on how stimulus money will be used.
I thought this related a bit to our discussion on mapping. And it's worth looking at Tufte's visual work.
