Planet on the page: Over 300 historic and contemporary Infographics
explaining our remarkable, fragile world Gigantic and frail at the
same time, our world keeps changing at high speed. New
communication technologies have downsized the distances between far
away continents. Data processing and network systems are changing
our ways of living and working. Each second social networks are
distributing myriads of information and news. Traditional mindsets
are constantly being challenged and it is not easy to keep up with
this evolution. This book presents a visual atlas of the world,
focusing on the first quarter of the 21st century in a broad
collection of information graphics, but also presenting many
historical graphics from the last 150 years, putting our current
situation into perspective. Divided into five big chapters, the
book collects a cross-section of data from a variety of fields. How
have political and economical weights shifted globally since the
beginning of the century? How does the pending threat of climate
change shape our thinking? More than 300 historic and contemporary
infographics from sources such as Fortune, National Geographic, or
The Guardian illuminate not just design professionals, they provide
answers for everyone who is eager to understand how our world
works. Nigel Holmes, one of the masters of information design
introduces the book to the reader, and illustrated with over 20
images the historical essay by Sandra Rendgen frames how we have
been looking at our world numbers for centuries.
