A comprehensive history of data visualization - its origins, rise, and effects of the ways we think about and solve problems
With complex information everywhere, graphics have become indispensable to our daily lives. Navigation apps show real-time, interactive traffic data. A color-coded map of exit pols details election balloting down to the county level. Charts communicate stock market trends, government spending and the dangers of epidemics. A history of Data Visualization and Graphic Communication tells the story of how graphics left the exclusive confines of scientific research and became ubiquitous. As data visualization spread, it changed the way we think.
