French cartographer Jacques Bertin died in Paris on May 3rd. This news has been out on a few English-language lists, but I otherwise hadn’t seen it mentioned, so thought I’d note it here. Bertin’s Semiologie and seven visual variables greatly influenced cartographic and graphic design theory and education over the last 40 years. Sadly out of print for years, his Semiology of Graphics will be reissued in extended form by ESRI Press this November.
