Résumé:
The world speaks in about 7000 tongues, and countless dialects. For centuries, people have tried to overcome this tower of Babel. For instance by propagating one language or by making a new language, such as Esperanto. But the language which today is best understood world-wide does not consist of words, but of images.

Résumé:
"Hong Kong apothecary" transports to the world of Eastern medicine, with oils, powders, pills, and cures for every known ailment from impotency to opium addiction. As peculiar as "pink pills for pale people" are the packages containing these medicaments. Author Simon Go has combed manufacturers , shops, and home medicine cabinets for years collecting the most compelling examples. The result is a visual cabinet of curiosities, a graphical pharmacopoeia. Divided by type – such as ointments, herbal teas, infused oils – "Hong Kong apothecary" presents the graphics and descriptions of hundreds of medicines and gives an insight into Chinese customs afforded only by examining the artifacts and customs of everyday life.

Résumé:
At the beginning of the 20th century, an unprecedented volume of information began circulating in the mass media, calling for the development of new visualization tactics to organize it all. The abundance of news and information required new forms of representation that would allow readers to glean a quick understanding of complex circumstances at a glance; the infographic was born. "Image Factories" is dedicated to the pioneering infographics of Austrian physician and illustrator Fritz Kahn (1888–1968) and German philosopher Otto Neurath (1882–1945), who both worked with graphic designers to realize their groundbreaking information visualizations. Presenting historical material and imagery designed between 1920 and 1945 alongside contemporary infographics, with a series of essays by Helena Doudova, Stephanie Jacobs, Patrick Rössler, Bernd Stiegler, Vilém Flusser and Otto Neurath, Image Factories offers a fascinating account of the early development of the infographic.

Résumé:
Dans les villes, sur les routes, au supermarché : les panneaux indicateurs sont partout. Si leur présence semble évidente, leur forme, leur contenu, leur emplacement ne vont pourtant pas de soi. Ils sont le résultat d'un travail complexe qui produit des espaces hybrides, où signes et architectures sont entrelacés. Ce livre explore les coulisses d'une signalétique aujourd'hui mondialement reconnue: celle du métro parisien. De l'organisation des services, jusqu'à l'activité des ouvriers qui installent et réparent les panneaux, en passant par les discours des concepteurs, il évoque les multiples facettes d'un dispositif ambitieux qui vise à transformer aussi bien les espaces du métro que le comportement de ses usagers. Complétant leur enquête d'un détour par le métro new-yorkais, les auteurs montrent que la signalétique parisienne instaure une véritable politique de l'attention où chacun peut s'attacher à la multitude des objets graphiques qui sont mis à sa disposition.

Résumé:
Loin des habituels clichés sur la Ville Lumière, les trois photographes de ce livre proposent un voyage en images sur ce qui fait l'identité visuelle d'une ville, son quotidien à portée d'œil. Le typique se déplace: pas de monuments, de vues imprenables, de perspectives bluffantes mais des devantures, des enseignes commerciales, des plaques de rue, d'égouts, des panneaux de signalisation en tous genres, des collections de murs peints ou de camions taggués... Page après page se découvre ici un alphabet particulier pour déchiffrer une ville, sa spécificité. Des signes multiples qui, l'air de rien, s'inscrivent dans la mémoire du passant ou dans celle du voyageur y dessinant une silhouette urbaine bien particulière.
