Book Synopsis Dear Data by : Giorgia Lupi

Download or read book Dear Data written by Giorgia Lupi. This book was released on 2016-09-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly—small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

Book Synopsis The Visual Miscellaneum of Good News by : David McCandless

Download or read book The Visual Miscellaneum of Good News written by David McCandless. This book was released on 2021-08-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to bestselling The Visual Miscellaneum, author David McCandless reveals unexpected--and much needed--positive developments from around the world. David McCandless creates simple, elegant ways to see and understand complex, abstract, and often obscured information important to our lives. A specialist in infographics. McCandless cuts through the noise of data overload, creating visually stunning displays that not only make facts comprehensive, but illuminates their connections and adds context, making information meaningful in beautiful and entertaining way. Designed in David McCandless's signature style. The Visual Miscellaneum of Good News focuses on fascinating positive developments at a time when the world has never seemed more dangerous and unpredictable. McCandless draws from philosophy, spirituality, ecology, society, technology, history, science, economics, and pop culture, to reveal positive trends and developments, from the invention of a breakthrough device that uses ocean forces to clean plastic from the world's seas, to a new method of converting donated blood to the crucial "O" negative type that can be used universally. In cutting edge graphs, charts, and illustrations, David McCandless creatively visualizes unexpected and compelling relationships between diverse data sets. Among his surprising findings: almost 250 US cities have remained in the Paris Accord; there are more female CEOs in the world than ever before; a new vaccine has been developed to help protect bees; Zika is disappearing from the Americas. At a time when we are besieged by disturbing events, The Visual Miscellaneum of Good News is the antidote to brighten the darkest day--a shot of positivity and good cheer that will lift the spirts and provide sorely needed hope about our world in a way never before seen.
