Reviews
"Today Minard is best known for a statistical graphic that details the French army's staggering losses during Napoleon's Russian campaign, a masterpiece popularized by the writings of statistician and political scientist Edward Tufte. The piece is a devastating beauty. Even so, as data visualization specialist Sandra Rendgen demonstrates in her forthcoming book, The Minard System, there's a great deal more to discover about the man and his work. Dozens of Minard's creations-all from the collection of the École nationale des ponts et chaussées in Paris-appear in its pages, meticulously reproduced and augmented by Rendgen's thoughtful and penetrating discussion. Among the many gems included is the Russian campaign graphic's lesser-known companion, which depicts losses to Hannibal's army during its march over the Alps. Rendgen presents it alongside the more celebrated graphic, as originally intended." - American Scientist-- -, "A new book out this week,The Minard System by Sandra Rendgen, catalogues much of his other work and shows how many forms of infographic design he pioneered. Here's just a small sample of those of those graphs. You'll have to check out the full, beautiful book for the rest." - Popular Science Online-- -, "Some have called Charles-Joseph Minard's map of Napoleon's disastrous Russian invasion "the best statistical graphic ever drawn"-nerdy praise, to be sure, but one that suggests fellow design geeks will revel in the antiquated-yet-beautiful designs of Minard, a 19th century French engineer..Vibrantly colorful and chocked full of data, The Minard System is sure to delight any designers willing to look to history for inspiration." - Metropolis Magazine Online, "Rendgen's The Minard System is a thoughtful, beautifully produced book, and a fitting encomium to a pioneer of non-Euclidean cartography. It is a highly accessible portal into Minard's oeuvre which is equally likely to appeal to cartographic professionals and the wider public." - Living Maps Review, "A new book out this week,The Minard System by Sandra Rendgen, catalogues much of his other work and shows how many forms of infographic design he pioneered. Here's just a small sample of those of those graphs.

This stunning collection includes them all-from visual depictions of the transport of mineral fuels in France in 1856 to a series on the European import of cotton over eight years." - Scientific American, "The book showcases many of Minard's classics, famously brought to light in Edward Tufte's books, but it also uncovers many hidden gems.
