Age of Invention A Series by Anton Howes antonhowes.substack.com I’m a historian of innovation. I write mostly about the causes of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, focusing on the lives of the individual innovators who made it happen. I’m interested in everything from the exploits of sixteenth-century alchemists to the schemes of Victorian engineers. My research explores why they became innovators, and the institutions they created to promote innovation even further. Upstream, Downstream inventioninnovationhistoryindustry
The Eyes Have It A Research Paper by Ben Shneiderman www.cs.umd.edu The Visual Information Seeking Mantra visualizationinformationdata

It proved to be only a starting point in trying to characterize the multiple information visualization innovations occurring at university, government, and industry research labs. visualizationinformation
