"""The book itself is a diagram of clarification, containing
hundreds of examples of work by those who favor the communication
of information over style and academic postulation--and those who
don't. Many blurbs such as this are written without a thorough
reading of the book. Not so in this case. I read it and love it. I
suggest you do the same." --Richard Saul Wurman""
"This handsome, clearly organized book is itself a prime example
of the effective presentation of complex visual information." --eg

"It is a dream book, we were waiting for...on the field of
information. On top of the incredible amount of presented knowledge
this is also a beautifully designed piece, very easy to follow..."
--Krzysztof Lenk, author of "Mapping Websites: Digital Media
Design"
