The Visual Miscellaneum

For most of us, the visual representation of data is much more palatable than slogging through dense paragraphs of information. David McCandless is the Picasso of these visual representations, moving worlds beyond pie charts and bar graphs. You can check out his work (and learn something, too) at Information is Beautiful, but if you'd like to up your intellectual cred, The Visual Miscellaneum: A Colorful Guide to the World's Most Consequential Trivia ($18) is full of these images, and laying a copy on your coffee table can't hurt.
