Hats (Design quarterly)

This issue of this soft, pictorial cover magazine is edited by Richard Saul Wurman who has devoted his career to improve our understanding about the places we live and travel. This issue isn't about hats; it's about hats as a metaphor for units of information. It's also about the hat rack as a model for the understanding of relationships and the finding of information using maps, diagrams, charts, lists, and time lines to help us bring order to understanding our world. Wurman analyzes the basic ways we organize information to communicate clearly, easily and graphically. This issue is beautifully designed, filled with exceptional graphics and offers keen insights. 32pp. 11 x 8-1/2"
