A decade after publication of what has become a cult guidebook to understanding the information age, this expanded and updated edition gives clarity to confusion with new maps for navigating through a stream of data that leaves us starved for the tools and patterns that give data meaning. Discussion touches on aesthetic considerations versus making information understandable, the pervasiveness of advertising, bartering and conversation, and communication in the work environment, with humorous asides and b&w cartoons. Wurman is a publisher and a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
