History of Information Graphics
80Data Trails
An XL-sized compendium on the history of knowledge
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 Waldseemüller’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.

Data is becoming increasingly important in our lives, but it is often too complex and obscure to be accessible. By giving them an intelligible and meaningful form, data designers make the knowledge they reveal reachable. This work of shaping and clarifying data is as old as that of writing. This book marvelously retraces the history of data representation and sheds new light on the increasingly important role of data visualization.Excellent

This book is huge! Both in size and also in content. A great visual journey through the history of infograhics. It will draw attention of anyone seeing it lay on your table and is great to browse through for many hours. Do keep in mind that some of the actual info in the graphics is outdated, but still an absolute joy to read and look through.
