It includes more than 100 full-color illustrations.

About this title

Review

"When looking at a highly accomplished work of information visualisation, we tend to forget or overlook how this is not a natural outflow from the raw data, but the result of hard work and many well-considered decisions on the part of their makers." --Sandra Rendgen, author of Understanding the World: The Atlas of Infographics (Taschen, 2014) and Information Graphics (Taschen, 2012).
