## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW
*by R***Y on July 24, 2025*

I like the style better than some of the content, but it was incredible to see all the graphs, colors and pictures used to represent information. There is quite a bit of interesting information as well. I just didn’t necessarily agree with the slant sometimes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instant knowledge about the topics and trends that are prominent in our world
*by C***M on June 13, 2021*

The world of data and its visual representations makes up a larger part of newspapers, magazines, and TV. Here, information about a wide range of topics is presented. There are one and two page summaries about global warming, carbon intensity, charities, health, cancer, geography, entertainment/movies, art, religion, and other subjects. Lots of the information are topics most readers have a general understanding of but also are topics about which one may not recall specific numbers. A very good two page visual summary is for the carbon dioxide cycle (p. 102/103). Cancer risks are another topic represented by a graphic made out of words (p. 154/155). Historical matters, including 20th Century Death causes is visually powerful, and highly informative (p. 120/121). At the UN and at the National Academy of Sciences people are still estimating what types of government programs are most beneficial for promoting the quality of life, reducing poverty, and avoiding the loss of life. This utilitarian debate changes as technology advances, yet we may see very similar charts about 21st survival and demographics as in the 20th century, given current trends about water shortages, droughts, war, poverty, and drug use. US economics are on trend towards being 20% of world GDP (compared with today's US GDP at 25% of the world economy). American charities will experience new limits in life-saving and life-improving missions. The era of Chinese charities may be a new trend, or they could be taking a more mercantile and finance-oriented road, exchanging goods and services usually only in return for raw materials and land rights.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining, but less impressive than expected
*by A***I on September 1, 2011*

I expected to be blown away by Candless's visualizations, but they failed to impress. The book remains an enjoyable read as you're constantly encountering new ways of looking at information and the visualizations are quite stunning. However, many of the visualizations are built more for aesthetic appeal than clarity, which I was disappointed by.
