National Geographic Infographics

National Geographic has been revealing wonders of history, popular science and culture from around the globe for over a century, and their empire endures even in the age of the Internet. Now, thanks to a partnership with Taschen, you can check out over 125 years on infographics in one hardcover coffee table book. Through seven sections, National Geographic Infographics covers History, The Planet, Being Human, Animal World, World of Plants, Science and Technology, and Space. From the rise and fall of the Roman Empire to a history of Hawaiian surfboarding, this book takes complex history and expertly distills it into an accessible graphic form.
