Information Graphics. 45th Ed.

<p>“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” <br/> —Albert Einstein<br/> <br/> Our everyday lives are filled with a massive flow of information that we must interpret in order to <strong>understand the world we live in</strong>. Considering the complex variety of data floating around us, sometimes the best—or even only—way to communicate is visually. This unique book presents a fascinating perspective on the subject, highlighting the <strong>work of the masters of the profession</strong>, creators of breakthroughs that have changed the way we communicate. <em>Information Graphics</em> has been conceived and designed not just for graphics professionals, but <strong>for anyone interested in the history and practice of communicating visually</strong>.<br/> <br/> The in-depth introductory section, illustrated with over 60 images (each accompanied by an explanatory caption), features essays by<strong> Sandra Rendgen</strong>, <strong>Paolo Ciuccarelli</strong>,<strong> Richard Saul Wurman</strong>, and <strong>Simon Rogers</strong>. Looking back all the way to primitive cave paintings as a means of communication, this section gives readers an excellent overview of the subject. The second part of the book is entirely dedicated to contemporary <strong>works by today’s most renowned professionals</strong>, presenting 200 graphics projects, with over 400 examples—each with a fact sheet and an explanation of methods and objectives—divided into chapters by the topics Location, Time, Category, and Hierarchy.<br/></p>
