unglaublich inspirierend!
Das Buch enthält eine Fülle von Themen mit fantastischen Visualisierungen komplexer Zusammenhänge. Eine großartige Inspirationsquelle, für alle, die sich mit Visualisierung befassen. Und für die anderen auch - aufgrund der breit gefächerten Sachgebiete.

Stunning
I purchased this as a little present for myself after it failed to materialise in my Christmas presents... This is a superb book. I don't quite know how to categorise it... it's too heavy to be a coffee table book and doesn't seem right putting it on the bookshelf with novels. So, it has a space of it's own in my living room. Each page is presented in an interesting and colourful way; the detail and outlay is extraordinary. It's something that keeps you entertained for hours. My only gripe is that it seems to be a little America-heavy in some of the breakdowns, but other than that it is fascinating. It's perfect as a present for a loved one, although you might need to choose wisely, as this won't be everyone's cup of tea! I'm sure there's an infographic about present-buying...
