Information, Illustrated

Who doesn't love a good infographic? I myself have posted the links to quite a few over the years, illustrating everything from the story of our garbage (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2012/04/where-does-our-trash-go.html) to how much space is really out there (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2012/03/scroll-through-space.html) to a group of them covering the lives of famous artists (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2013/07/lives-of-artists.html). Well, the inevitable has happened, and that's not necessarily a bad thing: Someone has decided to compile the best of each year's infographics from the U.S., the first tome being titled, appropriately, The Best American Infographics 2013 (story, video): http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/10/08/best-american-infographics-david-byrne/?utm_source=buffer&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=buffer5a6cb&utm_medium=twitter
