In the last chapter of his book, Tufte talks about narratives of space and time. I still find his book hard to read, but the images that he picks makes it easier to understand, like his redesign example of the New Haven Timetable. By showing a few design adjustments; getting rid of chart junk, good spacing and no serpentined data, the form reads and looks much better.
What is clear also, is what he has been preaching all throughout his book. The info of the timetable created should be direct and clear. Understood by any viewer. He simplifies the technique of how to tell a story of position and chronology through visual elements. Also known as representing spatial data.
