Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Book of Trees: Visualizing Branches of Knowledge catalogs a stunning diversity of illustrations and graphics that rely on arboreal models for representing information." -Wired Magazine

"Now for the first time this often overlooked icon of information has its own in-depth historical book." -Hyperallergic

"The data visualization master's new work gives a history and analysis of leafy diagrams. (...) Each chapter elucidates different styles of tree visualizations, many of which the layperson might not recognize without Lima's sound guidance." -Cool Hunting

"The Book of Trees is a treasure trove of visual literacy, symbolic history, and cultural insight." - Brain Pickings

"The Book of Trees explores the many possibilities presented by treelike diagrams in expressing ideas and discoveries, with a strong emphasis on the effectiveness of representational strategies." - Nature magazine

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and nominated by Creativity magazine as “one of the 50 most creative and influential minds of 2009,” Manuel Lima is the founder of VisualComplexity.com, Design Lead at Google, and a regular teacher of data visualization at Parsons School of Design.

Manuel is a leading voice on information visualization and has spoken at numerous conferences, universities, and festivals around the world, including TED, Lift, OFFF, Eyeo, Ars Electronica, IxDA Interaction, Harvard, Yale, MIT, the Royal College of Art, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, ENSAD Paris, the University of Amsterdam, and MediaLab-Prado Madrid. He has also been featured in various magazines and newspapers, such as Wired, the New York Times, Science, Nature, Businessweek, Creative Review, Fast Company, Forbes, Grafik, SEED, étapes, and El País.

His first book, Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information, has been translated into French, Chinese, and Japanese. His second, The Book of Trees: Visualizing Branches of Knowledge, covers eight hundred years of human culture through the lens of the tree figure, from its entrenched roots in religious medieval exegesis to its contemporary, secular digital themes.

With more than twelve years of experience designing digital products, Manuel has worked for Codecademy, Microsoft, Nokia, R/GA, and Kontrapunkt. He holds a BFA in Industrial Design and a MFA in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design. During the course of his MFA program, Manuel worked for Siemens Corporate Research Center, the American Museum of Moving Image, and Parsons Institute for Information Mapping in research projects for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
