BBC - Dimensions - The battle of Stalingrad
More about the battle of Stalingrad The battle of Stalingrad began on the 19th August 1942. Taking Stalingrad would have given Germany access to key oilfields, however the dogged resistance of the Red Army forced them to fight house-to-house. The Germans were defeated in 1943 when the Soviet troops encircled their frontlines and counter-attacked from outside the city – illustrated here. More from Cities in History Beijing was the largest city in the world from 1425 to 1650, and has been an integral part of China's history for over eight centuries.
Eric Blue’s Blog » 15 Effective Tools for Visual Knowledge Management
Since I started my quest a few years ago searching for the ultimate knowledge management tool, I’ve discovered a number of interesting applications that help people efficiently organize information. There certainly is no shortage of solutions for this problem domain. Many tools exist that offer the ability to discover, save, organize, search, and retrieve information. However, I’ve noticed a trend in recent years, and some newer applications are focusing more on the visual representation and relationship of knowledge. I believe this is in part due to the wider adoption of mind mapping (and concept mapping), and leveraging concepts and advances in the semantic web community. Most traditional personal knowledge management (PKM) or personal information management (PIM) applications offer the same basic set of features:
Visualizing [visualizing.org] has just been released as the latest online player in the ever-increasing blogosphere about the topic of data visualization. But Visualizing is different in many ways. For one, the man behind the Visualizing initiative is Adam Bly , founder and Editor-in-Chief of Seed and one of the people behind the impressive Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition at MoMA. Together with the fact that Visualizing is also supported by a wide range of highly reputable design institutions , the website positions itself as the most serious media player in the field of data visualization, enjoying an unseen amount of credibility and financial funding. While Visualizing.org's mission is to help make data visualization figure more prominently across the web as a way of understanding complex world issues as they unfold, it is not a weblog in the classic sense.

Knowledge Communication can be improved by applying a set of versatile and powerful visual interaction tools . As part of our research project, we screen, evaluate and develop such effective knowledge communication instruments. In doing so, we develop not only applications, but also gather key success factors and requirements for future knowledge communication technology. Knowledge Communication Tools that we currently develop are:
Graph Visualization Software | Tulip
Written in C++ the framework enables the development of algorithms, visual encodings, interaction techniques, data models, and domain-specific visualizations. One of the goal of Tulip is to facilitates the reuse of components and allows the developers to focus on programming their application. This development pipeline makes the framework efficient for research prototyping as well as the development of end-user applications.

Email became an integral part of my life in 1998. Like many people, I have archived all of my email with the hope of someday revisiting my past. I am interested in revealing the innumerable relationships between me, my schoolmates, work-mates, friends and family. This could not readily be accomplished by reading each of my 60,000 emails one-by-one. Instead, I created My Map, a relational map and alternative self portrait.

Triptrop NYC: extraordinarily pretty subway maps from anywhere to everywhere in new york city
what is trip trop? I wanted to know what was half an hour from my house, so I made Triptrop . Put in an address and you get a map of how far away everything is using the subway. 15 minutes, forty minutes, two hours - all set up with nice little colors. That's pretty easy, I think. Triptrop can help you find a convenient place to live. It's also a nice way to tell your friend to stop inviting you to the purple part of the Bronx, or to prove that the G isn't actually that bad.Information Visualisation
Long ago, putting together a map of data points would be the sole domain of a skilled GIS practitioner employing an application like ArcView . These days, particularly with the advent of Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and OpenStreetMap , et al., there are a multitude of options for an individual to employ in displaying data geographically. Of course, there are, and will always be, technical options that require some level of programming chops. Fortunately, the pool of drop dead easy implementations that anyone can throw together with ease has grown a lot over the last few years.
