The History of Information by Chris Haughton - $24.99
If you love books that are packed with visual information, this one's for you! Not just for kids, this is a journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why. The history of information is closely connected to the history of visual communication so it makes sense to tell this story visually: a history of graphics told through graphics. The History of Information, through a mix of timelines, graphics, and illustrations, clearly breaks down and explains each concept for children and adults alike.
