Edward Tufte has been a great leader in the field of data visualization. His ability to break down the complicated into the simple visual messages has been his trademark for years. Tufte’s two greatest examples of the benefit of data visualization (in my opinion) has been his work on describing the events of the Challenger disaster before lift-off and his work on visualizing Napoleon’s march to Moscow.

Here are some interesting notes from a seminar Tufte gave. Take particular note at the section on web design.

So true. Edward Tufte has done wonders for the world of information visualization. However, it should be noted that Charles Minard is the man behind the Napolean’s March graphic (Edward Tufte has done a great job at raising awareness about Minard’s work).
