Auszug aus der Einleitung
Evidence presentations are seen here from both sides: how to produce them and how to consume them. As teachers know, a good way to learn something is to teach it. The partial symmetry of producers and consumers is a consequence of the theory of analytical design, wich is based on the premise that the point of evidence displays is to assist the thinking of producer and consumer alike.
(…)
Here we will see many close readings of serious evidence presentations – ranging through evolutionary trees and rocket science to economics, art history, and sculpture. Insistent application of the principles of analytical thinking helps both insiders and outsiders assess the credibility of evidence.
