The Best American Infographics 2013

I listened to the author of the book "The Best American Infographics 2013" today on radio and checked out the book out of curiosity. I like it. Since I am in the business of conveying information via pictures and stories, I want to understand the history of infographics and how it influenced the thinking of key decision makers. In the radio program I listened to, the author of the book discussed this infographic that depicts slavery in the American South and how President Abraham Lincoln studied it to make key decisions.
