I think that Tufte is hard to match. Have to say that, back sometime around the early 1990s, which I was voluntarily teaching a small course for EE students in preparing demos and graphic displays on the Mac using QuickBasic (or was it Real Basic?) I bought Tufte to see what it might have to tell me the graphic of data and computed results -- and decided it had nothing really useful to say, was as over-hyped as it was empty of meaningful content, and discarded it. Maybe I should look again . . .
