In its introduction, he describes the tree as a pervasive and fundamental metaphorÑthe road Òbranches,Ó one problem is ÒrootedÓ in another. But he also shows how the tree is a tool. The hierarchy, grouping and subdivision implicit in its form can be used as a structuring device for organizing complex information or giving static representation to a dynamic process. A treeÕs structure implies this use: as Joel describes, its Òsplitting paths signify causes and effects, an event and its ramifications.Ó\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCollaboratively produced by Diana Shi, Lily Healey, Devin Karbowicz, Erin Byrne and John OÕNeill in VIS 415: Advanced Graphic Design at Princeton University in Fall 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Reinfurt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44276039319713,"sku":"9781111113935","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/14m9p59p-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748271520","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/root-branch","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
