In the age of big data and digital distribution, when news travel
ever further and faster and media outlets compete for a fleeting
slice of online attention, information graphics have swept center
stage. At once nuanced and neat, they distill abstract ideas,
complex statistics, and cutting-edge discoveries into succinct,
compelling, and masterful designs. Cartographers, programmers,
statisticians, designers, scientists, and journalists have
developed a new field of expertise in visualizing knowledge. This
XL-sized compendium explores the history of data graphics from the
Middle Ages right through to the digital era. Curated by Sandra
Rendgen, some 400 milestones span astronomy, cartography, zoology,
technology, and beyond. Across medieval manuscripts and parchment
rolls, elaborate maps, splendid popular atlasses, and early
computer-based information design, we systematically break down
each work's historical context, including such highlights as Martin
Waldseemuller's famous world map, the meticulous nature studies of
Ernst Haeckel, and many unknown treasures. Hot on the heels of the
best-selling Information Graphics and Understanding the World, this
third volume fills the gap as an unprecedented reference book for
data freaks, designers, historians, and anyone thirsty for
knowledge. An enthralling exploration into the teachings, research,
and lives of generations past.
