“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
―Albert Einstein
Our everyday lives are filled with a massive flow of information that we must interpret in order to understand the world we live in. Considering the complex variety of data floating around us, sometimes the best―or even only―way to communicate is visually. This unique book presents a fascinating perspective on the subject, highlighting the work of the masters of the profession, creators of breakthroughs that have changed the way we communicate. Information Graphics has been conceived and designed not just for graphics professionals, but for anyone interested in the history and practice of communicating visually.
The in-depth introductory section, illustrated with over 60 images (each accompanied by an explanatory caption), features essays by Sandra Rendgen, Paolo Ciuccarelli, Richard Saul Wurman, and Simon Rogers. Looking back all the way to primitive cave paintings as a means of communication, this section gives readers an excellent overview of the subject. The second part of the book is entirely dedicated to contemporary works by today’s most renowned professionals, presenting 200 graphics projects, with over 400 examples―each with a fact sheet and an explanation of methods and objectives―divided into chapters by the topics Location, Time, Category, and Hierarchy.
Includes:

"Wenn man etwas nicht einfach erklären kann, hat man es nicht verstanden." -Albert Einstein
Im Alltag sind wir einem gewaltigen Informationsfluss ausgesetzt, den wir interpretieren müssen, um unsere Welt zu verstehen. Angesichts der Komplexität und Fülle der Daten um uns herum ist es oft am einfachsten, visuell zu kommunizieren. Dieses Buch präsentiert nun eine Gesamtschau des Themas. Es beleuchtet das Werk von Meistern des Genres, die mit ihren zeichnerischen Erfindungen unsere Möglichkeiten zur Verständigung erweitert haben. Information Graphics wurde nicht nur für Profis konzipiert, sondern für jeden, der mehr über Geschichte und Praxis der visuellen Kommunikation erfahren will.
Der reich illustrierte Einleitungsteil enthält Essays von Sandra Rendgen, Paolo Ciuccarelli, Richard Saul Wurman und Simon Rogers. Ausgehend von primitiven Höhlenmalereien verschafft diese Einführung einen hervorragenden Überblick über die Bandbreite der Kommunikation mittels Bildern. Der zweite Teil des Buchs ist dem Werk von heutigen Stars auf dem Gebiet gewidmet: Hier werden 200 Grafik-Projekte vorgestellt, jeweils mit Fact-Sheet und einer Erklärung der Methoden und Ziele. Oft liest sich das sehr spannend; wie nebenbei erfährt man nämlich Erstaunliches über das Leben im 21. Jahrhundert.
