幾年前，陳寬仁老師要去演講，與我討論「一圖抵萬言」的英文是什麼？
如果我記得沒錯 ，陳老師指的圖，都以他收集的「美國品管協會」ASQC的漫畫為主。或許他會開始與我們分享收藏品。
除了這篇的兩本關於Information Graphics的書籍介紹之外，朋友們或許會知道我在《戴明領導手冊》(頁247-49)的翻譯中，熱情地介紹過Ed Tufte教授精彩的「數據表現三部曲」！
現在網路資源豐富，我希望朋友能分想這一方面的資訊。現在我介紹兩處有「每日一圖」的服務：
一是The Economist 周刊的網站 http://www.economist.com/
參考我今天介紹的美國醫療成本趨勢-推移圖1960-2010。
另外一個網站是中央研究院近代史研究所的網站 「每日一圖」：

| How complex ideas can be communicated via graphics Our everyday lives are filled with a massive flow of information that we must interpret in order to understand the world we live in. Considering this complex variety of data floating around us, sometimes the best — or even only — way to communicate is visually. This unique book presents a fascinating perspective on the subject, highlighting the work of the masters of the profession who have created a number of breakthroughs that have changed the way we communicate. Information Graphics has been conceived and designed not just for graphics professionals, but for anyone interested in the history and practice of communicating visually. The in-depth introductory section, illustrated with over 60 images (each accompanied by an explanatory caption), features essays by Sandra Rendgen, Paolo Ciuccarelli, Richard Saul Wurman, and Simon Rogers; looking back all the way to primitive cave paintings as a means of communication, this introductory section gives readers an excellent overview of the subject. The second part of the book is entirely dedicated to contemporary works by today's most renowned professionals, presenting 200 graphics projects, with over 400 examples — each with a fact sheet and an explanation of methods and objectives — divided into chapters by the subjects Location, Time, Category, and Hierarchy.
