Over 400 exemplary graphics—ranging from journalism to art, government to education—are accompanied by essays tracing the evolving art form and descriptions explaining each project. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” —Albert Einstein Our everyday lives are filled with a massive flow of information that we must interpret in order to understand the world we live in.
