This week’s recommended resource comes from our own Paul Adams, a fan of the existing Data Flow: Visualising Information in Graphic Design, which has the sequel up for pre-order right now.  From the sneak preview:

Data Flow 2 expands the definition of contemporary information graphics. The book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts and investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes and data. Eight comprehensive chapters illuminate how techniques such as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization function. The book also includes interviews with experts such as the New York Times’s Steve Duenes and ART+COM’s Joachim Sauter about the challenges in creating effective work.

Both of these books, and many more, can be found in the VizWorld Store!
