The pleasure of working with awesome quality publishers is strongly attached to the learning and opened horizons driven by their valuable content.like Visual Complexity is a clear example of that.
Manuel Lima (@mslima), is the guy behind it, a visual explorer on mapping complex networks which help us to understand not only the world around us but also the most intricate web of interactions that shape the human body.
InfluAds HQ just got on our mailbox an awesome book by Manuel: Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information (which you can buy at Amazon) explores the work of incredibly beautiful visualizations. It was quite an artistic and aesthetic revelation by itself to some of us! They truly capture your eye immediately and one gets immensely impressed by each image presented in the book. Complex beauty and an awesome experience that we just started digesting!
Manuel explores often how visualization can quickly turn into a form of art since art is all about not leaving you indifferent and these amazing book does achieve that. In the book networkism is described as a new conception of art, stretching as far as our scientific eye can take us and embracing all scales of human understanding, from atoms, genes, and neurons to ecosystems, the planet, and the universe.
We can only recommend this awesome reading experience and invite you to follow the Visual Complexity blog. Visual Complexity is part of our small but awesome Data Visualization network, where a few other very interesting publishers can be found.
These are two gorgeous examples of data visualization representing traffic in Lisbon, a city that share some links between Manuel and us since both Manuel and Anibal (our founder & CEO) are Portuguese. We even got some inspiration from Lisbon for our 404 page ;-)
