Summary:
The most creative and effective data visualizations from the past year, edited by Brain Pickings creator Maria Popova. The rise of infographics across nearly all print and electronic media - from a graphic illuminating the tweets of the women of Isis to a memorable depiction of the national geography of beer - reveals patterns in our lives and the world in often startling ways. This book showcases visualizations from the worlds of politics, social issues, health, sports, arts and culture, and more. From an elegant graphic comparison of first sentences in classic novels to a startling illustration of the world's deadliest animals, "You'll come away with more than your share of mind-bending moments - and a wide-ranging view of what infographics can do" (Harvard Business Review). "This is what information design does at its best - it gives pause, makes visible the unsuspected yet significant invisibilia of life, and by astonishing us into mobilization, it catapults us toward one of the greatest feats of human courage: the act of changing one’s mind."—from the Introduction by Maria Popova.
