review 1: This book is a splending marketing idea for a coffee table book, and the ratings on this site make it clear that it is a success in that sense. However, it's content does not match the idea. Few of the images really use the power of image to depict information, and many are cluttered or confusing, complicating what could have been shown more easily with words. The real power of image to show information has been done much better in other books, such as Envisioning Information by Edward Tufte.
review 2: If you are overwhelmed by huge piles of information that you need to compile and present, this book will give you loads of ideas.Graphical representation of information (infographics) is a sure hitter to seek attention. No more mundane tables and graphs. I believ... moree this book should be a must-have for all information officers out there, especially those who constantly have to compile facts and figures in their report.I took 2 stars because some of the facts are questionable, and not all of the infographics are interesting.Note: This book is available at Raja Tun Uda Library, Shah Alam, at the Reference Floor (4th Floor). It was selected and donated by HRH Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah. less
