The Best American Infographics 2014, edited by Gareth Cook, has over 150 great infographics by fabulous information designers and includes diverse topics such as “The Perfect Wine for the Meal". "Drone Attacks" is an infographic that explains who has been injured or killed over the past 10 years by drones. My favorite chapter is "Lost Cat," where Tibby’s owners, wondering what he gets up to when he disappears for weeks at a time, strap a GPS on his collar. And then they graph the information onto different maps. Another fascinating infographic is "Cosmic Journeys" about unmanned probes that have been sent into space since 1958. Got a question? I bet the answer is here and it's more comprehensive than you think. By organizing data into colorful pictures and graphics, this book provides a great alternative to learning in black and white print. It might even entice the nonreader with its unique format.
Infographics will make a great coffee table addition, as every time you open it you get a different chapter on a different topic. Try it and you just might get hooked on these infographics and the organized, colorful data.
