Kate Heart has put together an array of charts breaking down the covers of 2011’s Young Adult fiction.
Bookish, curious, critical. I also curate a manuscript blog.

This is a foundational document for Information Theory by Claude Shannon.
It strongly occurs to me that the artists that I am most interested in might constitute the role of “Noise Source” in this diagram. Furthermore, the artist as noise source might not only disrupt a message but may also amplify or add useful complexity to a given message.
This may be seen as the starting point of why I want artists to get involved in Data Visualization. While Shannon needed to remove “meaning” from the flow of information ( for the sake of sending it over telephone lines), artists might then tactically re-insert meaning in their role as a “noise source”.

![Beautifully designed covers of the works of British neurologist Oliver Sacks.
Sacks has been bringing the stranger (yet more common than we think) neurological disorders and experiences of his patients to light since 1970. Looking for some good reads? Check these out!Migraine - Explores the neuropsychological aspects of migraine.Awakenings - Recounts the life histories of those who had been victims of the 1920s encephalitis lethargicaepidemic (a disease attacks the brain, leaving some victims in a statue-like condition, speechless and motionless.). Sacks chronicles his efforts in the late 1960s to help these patients at the Beth Abraham Hospital.The Island of the Colorblind - about achromatopsia (colorblindness and other ocular disorders) on the Micronesian atoll of Pingelap. The second half of the book is devoted to the mystery of Lytico-Bodig disease (similar to ALS) in Guam.
Uncle Tungsten: Memoirs of a Chemical Boyhood - A memoir, the book is named for Sacks’s Uncle Dave, who owned a business named Tungstalite, which made incandescent lightbulbs with a tungsten filament, whom Oliver nicknamed Uncle Tungsten. Uncle Tungsten was fascinated with tungsten and believed it was the metal of the future. The book also talks about many other things that happened to Sacks, such as the many whippings at Braefield school, the burning down of the Crystal Palace, his interest in amateur chemistry, and his short-lived obsession with coloring his own black-and-white photographs using dangerous chemicals.
An Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales - Consisting of seven medical case histories of individuals with neurological conditions such as autism and Tourette syndrome. Sacks studies his patients outside the hospital, often traveling considerable distances to interact with his subjects in their own environments. Sacks concludes that “defects, disorders, [and] diseases… can play a paradoxical role, by bringing out latent powers, developments, evolutions, forms of life that might never be seen, or even be imaginable, in their absence.”
Seeing Voices: A Journey Into the World of the Deaf - Covers a variety of topics in deaf studies, including sign language, the neurology of deafness, the history of the treatment of deaf Americans, and linguistic and social challenges facing the deaf community. It also contains an eyewitness account of the March 1988 Deaf President Now student protest at Gallaudet University, a school for the hearing impaired.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ludf8gIRbA1qzluhjo1_500.jpg)
