[Infovis] new InfoVis-related book

[John Stasko]

Hi everyone,
I'd like to put in a quick plug for a book that may be of interest to
infovis researchers.  It's titled "Information Visualization:
Human-Centered Issues and Perspectives" and is the result of a summer
2007 Dagstuhl seminar.  After the meeting, a number of the attendees
put together some chapters related to main discussion topics there at
the seminar. What's most interesting is that the chapters reflect many
meta-topics in infovis and are more overview-ish in nature (value of
infovis, teaching, evaluation, paper writing, etc.)  and you normally
wouldn't find these papers in typical journals or conferences.

Chapters
1 The Value of Information Visualization (J.-D. Fekete, J.J. van Wijk,
  J.T. Stasko, and C. North)  
2 Evaluating Information Visualization (S. Carpendale)  
3 Theoretical Foundations of Information Visualization (H.C. Purchase,
  N. Andrienko, T.J. Jankun-Kelly, and M. Ward)  
4 Teaching Information Visualization (A. Kerren, J.T. Stasko, and
  J. Dykes)  
5 Creation and Collaboration: Engaging New Audiences for Information
  Visualization (J. Heer, F. van Ham, S. Carpendale, C. Weaver, and
  P. Isenberg)  
6 Process and Pitfalls in Writing Information Visualization Research
  Papers (T. Munzner)  
7 Visual Analytics: Definition, Process, and Challenges (D. Keim,
  G. Andrienko, J.-D. Fekete, C. Görg, J. Kohlhammer, and G. Melançon)
