The Minard System explores the nineteenth-century civil engineer''s career and the story behind this masterpiece of multivariate data, as well as sixty of Minard''s other statistical graphics reflecting social and economic changes of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and around the world. These stunning drawings are from the collection of the cole Nationale des Ponts et Chauss es in Paris and have never before been published in their entirety.
