Much has been said about visual
storytelling and how to tell
stories of data in the information age, and there is no

Rendgen explores the four key aspects of visualizing data –

200 projects, alongside essays by information architect and TED founder Richard Saul Wurman, Guardian
Datablog editor Simon Rogers, Density Design's Paolo Ciuccarelli, and Rendgen herself.
