Why do we organize our families into trees, our corporations into boxy, top-down reporting structures, and our learning into outlines—when we all know that everything is just a bit more complicated than that? Hailed as "the man who turns data into art,” Manuel Lima believes knowledge is not only less modular and centralized than we may perceive; it’s also more beautiful. In his follow-up to the massively popular The Book of Trees (about branches of knowledge), Lima, a data visualization specialist and Google Design Lead, brings us The Book of Circles, in which he explores spheres of knowledge, and curates a new taxonomy for the incredible visual diversity and—to quote Lima himself—“immensely gorgeous” representations of what we know.
