From a very cool little book called Visual aid2 - you can never know enough stuff by Draught Associates / Black Dog Publishing. The book is just full of trivia which is presented really beautifully with simple stylised graphics, to allow visual learners to pick things up easier. other examples of contents are: toasts in different languages, composition of the human body, bridge types, bats /sticks /racquets, palmistry, extinct animals, and many many more. I really enjoy the bold graphics, and the use of diagrammatic information and ways of using diagrams to represent what otherwise would be described in writing. I think this technique is underrated and underused in day to day life; obviously designers / architects and landscape architects are constantly using this technique and i found it really interesting to see it used for things which usually would be in writing.
