Information is Beautiful – The Visual Miscellaneum

I’ve talked about informationisbeautiful.net before (in a post about the reality of Twitter’s numbers).

David McCandless is the man responsible.  He’s just released a book of his work, The Visual Miscellaneum – A Colourful Guide to the World’s Most Consequential Trivia.

His work is brilliant (a couple of favourites are below), a great demonstration that pictures are, as rumoured, worth a great many words.

His site is here.  A pre-order link for his book is here.  It’s on my Christmas list (which is here).
