visual miscellaneum


i bought this book for myself because usually it's 39.95 but it was marked down to 26.96. introduced to me by dolly, it's a book full of information in image form. some of them are graphs, some of them are mind maps, or maps, but it's really cool!

Mind you, some of them are hard to read and some of them are a little confusing, but i think this is an awesome method of presenting information.

There's this one that i saw:



and i think it's an awesome representation of how's playing their part in saving the environment and who's just screwing around.

I think if these things are used not only in environmental issues but in healthcare, or like the social system, then couldn't it evoke greater change because the public will be more educated? People don't read anymore... or stats don't really say much, but i guess it's true that a picture can say a thousand words...
