The World Explained in 264 Infographics

The world is connected more than ever, with news and other information continuously flowing in via phones, computers, TVs, and radios. People don't have the time or energy to sift through all the data. That's where infographics come in. While the idea of illustrating facts and figures has been around for centuries, it is only recently, with the introduction of the internet, that infographics have really taken off as a medium to convey all types of information. This book shows how versatile infographics are. Illustrating topics such as history, economics, sports, music, art, science, and culture, these charts are designed to be easy to understand, thought-provoking, and elegant. The World Explained in 264 Infographics covers such things as the evolution of electric vehicles from a tricycle to a Tesla Model 3, how supermarkets trick buyers into buying more food than they need, and how much work goes into creating a video game. By condensing and illustrating facts, infographics tell stories for everyone. View Less
