I was in Waterstones earlier and spotted this awesome book on the counter Information is Beautiful by David McCandless. Though I didn't buy it (as we all know amazon is much cheaper!), I certainly shall be. Infographics fascinates me, its kind of like a convergence point between maths and art. The time McCandless must have taken gathering the information and displaying it in truly beautiful visualizations must have been enormous and it must have taken a lot of patience.
Its very provocative information he displays and it ranges from figures on internet dating to natural disasters. I chuckled on the first page he'd dedicated the book to the internet. Because surely the publication and a lot infographics in general would be virtually impossible without the net. So god bless the world wide web!
