In this followup to his hugely popular The Book of Trees and Visual Complexity, Manuel Lima takes us on a lively tour through millennia of circular information design. Three hundred detailed and colorful illustrations from around the world cover an encyclopedic array of subjectsarchitecture, urban planning, fine art, design, fashion, technology, religion, cartography, biology, astronomy, and physics, all based on the circle, the universal symbol of unity, perfection, movement, and infinity.The Book of Circles juxtaposes clay trading tokens used by the ancient Sumerians with the iconic logos of twentiethcentury corporations, a chart organizing seven hundred Nintendo offerings with a Victorian board game based on the travels of Nellie Bly, and a visual analysis of Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining with early celestial charts that placed the earth at the center of the universe, among a wealth of other elegant and intriguing methods for displaying information.Lima provides an authoritative history of the circle as well as a unique taxonomy of twentyone varieties of circle diagrams, rounding out this visual feast for infographics enthusiasts.
