Data Visualization from the Annals of History
A new exhibit at the British Library is paying tribute to scientific diagrams from the annals of history. That sounds way cool. I hope I get a chance to go.
The exhibition called Beautiful Science: Picturing Data, Inspiring Insight, opens tomorrow and closes on 26 May 2014.
This article also reminds me of Katy Börner's Atlas of Science, which I reviewed for the journal Science a few years ago.
