 The SF Site Featured Review: The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three
The Drawing of the Three is the second book in a cycle of seven called The Dark Tower which describes the quest of the world's last gunslinger -- Roland Deschain of Gilead -- to put right whatever has tainted or "wronged" his rapidly decaying reality.
Roland's power to "draw" turns out to be an unconscious ability to conjure inter-dimensional portals, or "doors" through which Roland is able to make contact with humans in our world, each one at a different temporal point.
The Drawing of the Three was originally published by Donald M. Grant in 1987 as a hardcover with full color illustrations by artist Phil Hale.

 Geometry in Action: Graph Drawing
Graph drawing can be thought of as a form of data visualization, but unlike most other types of visualization the information to be visualized is purely combinatorial, consisting of edges connecting a set of vertices.
Applications of graph drawing include genealogy, cartography (subway maps form one of the standard examples of a graph drawing), sociology, software engineering (visualization of connections between program modules), VLSI design, and visualization of hypertext links.
Typical concerns of graph drawing algorithms are the area needed to draw a graph, the types of edges (straight lines or bent), the number of edge crossings for nonplanar graphs, separation of vertices and edges so they can be distinguished visually, and preservation of properties such as symmetry and distance.
