Information is beautiful [antikvár]

Introduction his book started out as an exploration Swamped by information, I was searching for a better way to see it aii and understand it. Why not visually? n a way, we're all visual now. Every day, every hour, maybe even every minute, weYe looking and absorbing information via the web. WeYe steeped in it. Maybe even lost in it. So perhaps what we need are well-designed, colourful and - hopefully - useful charts to help us navigate. A mop book. But can a book with the minimum ol text, rammed with diagrams, maps and charts, still be exciting and readable? Can it still be fun? Can you make jokes in graphs? Are you even allowed to?
