Exploring the history of visually representing information and how imagery can interpret data, is what is covered in the book ‘Visual Complexity : Mapping Patterns of Information’. This book acts as a platform for preserving Manuel’s projects on his website ‘Visual Complexity’ that he started in 2005, and it offers a historical perspective on the evolution of our natural human instinct to visually organize information. It also has amazing imagery of visualized information and data sets spanning a range of subjects.

This book addresses theories on methodology and practices and gives insight on how you personally can start to look at and process information with visual maps.

“These webs of knowledge at times enable readers to clearly understand vast quantities of information in aesthetically pleasing ways, though some simply astound, creating visual representations of unimaginably enormous amounts of data.” – coolhunting.com
