    Semiology of Graphics
    Jacques Bertin
    Originally published in French in 1967, Semiology of Graphics holds a
    significant place in the theory of information design. Founded on Jacques
    Bertin’s practical experience as a cartographer, part one of this work is an
    unprecedented attempt to synthesize principles of graphic communication
    with the logic of standard rules applied to writing and topography. Part two
    brings Bertin’s theory to life, presenting a close study of graphic techniques,
    including shape, orientation, color, texture, volume, and size, in an array
    of more than 1,000 maps and diagrams. The first cohesive, analytic theory
    of graphic representation, Semiology of Graphics is an essential reference
    for cartographers, graphic designers, illustrators, and geographers. This
    updated edition includes a new appendix written by Bertin.
