Do you like infographics? Do you like nice designs? Do you like numbers and statistics about everything possible correlated to the most curious facts? Then the book “The Visual Miscellaneum: A Colorful Guide to the World’s Most Consequential Trivia (Amazon Link) “ by David McCandless is for you. This book is a real must read, to be more precise a book to look in and admire the creatively visuals (pie charts, cutting edge graphs, charts, and illustrations) drawn by the author. The first time I’ve looked into this book it was a really enjoyment: statistics where so nicely presented that I read it immediately till the last page! David McCandless really did a nice job a of course the book is not only about facts and stats, but it also contains some hidden humorous hints and really funny facts: you will be surprised 😉
