Manuel Lima

Manuel Lima's smash hit Visual Complexity is now available in paperback. This groundbreaking 2011 book-the first to combine a thorough history of information visualization with a detailed look at today's most innovative applications-clearly illustrates why making meaningful connections inside complex data networks has emerged as one of the biggest challenges in twenty-first-century design. From diagramming networks of friends on Facebook to depicting interactions among proteins in a human cell, Visual Complexity presents one hundred of the most interesting examples of informationvisualization by the field's leading practitioners.

Lima was named one of the 'fifty most creative and influential minds of 2009' by Creativity magazine. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the New York-based design lead for Codeacademy.com.
