Nourishing Brain CandyThere are a zillion ways to present data graphically - from straightforward x/y graphs to wildly creative artistic renderings。 This book hews to the middle path and succeeds admirably。We start with North American trivia， curiosities， and odd factoids。 Later topics include geography， politics， nature， culture， sports， population， food， and health。 These topics are explored in 100 maps of North America。 Sometimes the maps are just used to organize factoids or to illustrate th Nourishing Brain CandyThere are a zillion ways to present data graphically - from straightforward x/y graphs to wildly creative artistic renderings。 This book hews to the middle path and succeeds admirably。We start with North American trivia， curiosities， and odd factoids。 Later topics include geography， politics， nature， culture， sports， population， food， and health。 These topics are explored in 100 maps of North America。 Sometimes the maps are just used to organize factoids or to illustrate the locations of interesting tidbits。 Sometimes， through the use of color or exaggeration or changes in scale or other graphical tricks trends are identified or larger points are made。As you might expect， the maps range in appeal or interest。 It turns out that sometimes the most obscure facts or the most unlikely lists lead to the most unexpected insights。 （Consider how states have changed from red to blue or blue to red over the years。） In any event there is more than enough here to inform and entertain， and that is， after all， the point。 （Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book without a review requirement， or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review。 Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book。） 。。。more

Really interesting arrangement of maps。 Excited to see the final version and check out the one that covers the globe as a whole。Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review。
