全书分为三大部分：
第一部分，主要讨论有关增强数据密集型应用系统所需的若干基本原则。首先开篇第1章即瞄准目标：可靠性、可扩展性与可维护性，如何认识这些问题以及如何达成目标。第2章我们比较了多种不同的数据模型和查询语言，讨论各自的适用场景。接下来第3章主要针对存储引擎，即数据库是如何安排磁盘结构从而提高检索效率。第4章转向数据编码（序列化）方面，包括常见模式的演化历程。
第二部分，我们将从单机的数据存储转向跨机器的分布式系统，这是扩展性的重要一步，但随之而来的是各种挑战。所以将依次讨论数据远程复制（第5章）、数据分区（第6章）以及事务（第7章）。接下来的第8章包括分布式系统的更多细节，以及分布式环境如何达成一致性与共识（第9章）。
第三部分，主要针对产生派生数据的系统，所谓派生数据主要指在异构系统中，如果无法用一个数据源来解决所有问题，那么一种自然的方式就是集成多个不同的数据库、缓存模块以及索引模块等。首先第10章以批处理开始来处理派生数据，紧接着第11章采用流式处理。第12章总结之前介绍的多种技术，并分析讨论未来构建可靠、可扩展和可维护应用系统可能的新方向或方法。

Visualization is the graphic presentation of data — portrayals meant to reveal complex information at a glance. Think of the familiar map of the New York City subway system, or a diagram of the human brain. Successful visualizations are beautiful not only for their aesthetic design, but also for elegant layers of detail that efficiently generate insight and new understanding.
This book examines the methods of two dozen visualization experts who approach their projects from a variety of perspectives — as artists, designers, commentators, scientists, analysts, statisticians, and more. Together they demonstrate how visualization can help us make sense of the world.
* Explore the importance of storytelling with a simple visualization exercise
* Learn how color conveys information that our brains recognize before we're fully aware of it
* Discover how the books we buy and the people we associate with reveal clues to our deeper selves
* Recognize a method to the madness of air travel with a visualization of civilian air traffic
* Find out how researchers investigate unknown phenomena, from initial sketches to published papers
