Overview
- The subject of scientific visualisation has primarily been covered in compilations of research papers, apart from Brodie's seminal work "Scientific Visualization Techniques and Applications" which was published in 1992. Dr Wright's book remedies this by providing a coherent and accessible approach to the subject which will be welcomed by readers.
- This book does not treat the subject as a subset of information visualisation, but rather as a subject in its own right
- Author uses straightforward language and uses a structured approach to the subject, with a non-mathematical basis.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
- Request lecturer material: sn.pub/lecturer-material

Reviews
From the reviews:
"Wright, after an overview of the field, presents the basics of color, provides an exemplary taxonomy of visualization techniques … . the book also contains a bibliography, references, solutions to exercises, a list of useful Web sites, common abbreviations, a glossary, and a comprehensive index. … all the visualization techniques are lucidly described, with clear … examples, corresponding charts, and color plates. … Readers looking for a short and accessible introduction to visualization techniques can’t go wrong with Wright’s book." (D. Spinellis, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2008)
