Critical Visualization
Rethinking the Representation of Data Peter A. Hall, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, UK & Patricio Dávila, York University, Canada Our decisions about the data we choose to represent and how we represent it are never neutral. This insightful history traces how data visualization accompanied modern technologies of war, colonialism and the management of social issues of poverty, health and crime. Discussion is based around seventy examples of visualization, from Florence Nightingale's diagrams of causes of mortality in the Crimean War to projects that show the cost of coal and the fate of our rubbish, taking a participatory approach to visualizing cities. This analysis provides a critical framework for understanding the history of information design with directions for contemporary practice.

Design and Modernity in Asia National Identity and Transnational Exchange 1945-1990
Edited by Yunah Lee, University of Brighton, UK & Megha Rajguru, University of Brighton, UK Addressing histories of modernism and contributing to the fast-growing body of literature on postcolonialism and Western global design history, this book examines different designs for and meanings of ‘modern living' across 20th-century Asia. The book provides methodological approaches to studying Asian modern design history, expanding the discourse of modernism to include areas such as Bangladesh, Iran, Korea and Turkey, and exploring how marginalised individuals and groups encountered modernity. Developed from extensive research and a variety of case studies, each chapter illuminates commonalities and particularities of the trajectories of modernism and their translation and manifestation in Asian living.

Domesticity Under Siege When Home Isn't Safe
Edited by Mark Taylor, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, Georgina Downey, University of Adelaide, Australia & Terry Meade Theories of the domestic stemming from the 19th century have focused on the home as a place of repose and safety. Under this conception, domestic space is positioned as a refuge which gave rise to theories of ‘home as haven’. Organised around four thematic sections, chapters provide approaches to the home which challenge notions of ‘haven’ and reflect major causes that have played an important role in undermining the modern home. Examples and case studies explore hoarding, hauntings, imprisonment, wartime interior art, the Hanover Merzbau and Wolfgang Staudte’s 1946 film Die Mörder sind unter uns (‘The Murderers are Among Us’).

Making Data
Materializing Digital Information Edited by Ian Gwilt, University of South Australia, Australia Delivering on the importance and likely future prevalence of physical representations of data, Making Data is an innovative and engaging study. For many outside of the scientific community, big data and the forms it takes, such as statistical lists, spreadsheets and graphs, often seem abstract and unintelligible. This book explores the creative methods, processes, theories and cultural histories of making physical representations of information and proposes that the making of data into physical objects is the next important development in the data visualization phenomenon.
