Last weekend NPR had a great profile on Edward Tufte (aka “ET”), talking about sculpture, information transparency and government information, and more. You can see some of his sculpture on NPR’s site as well as his own site, www.edwardtufte.com, and be sure to check out the map infographic at Recovery.org.
