Two of my books (BEI and PVI) contain a favorite illustration of mine, showing a 2-D plane of data and what it looks like as it is taken to Fourier space. I like showing it because the basic concepts come across more clearly in person than on paper. Here you have links to the video (55:07 minutes).
