520    "Born in Scotland more than 250 years ago, William 
       Playfair was a dreamer who saw the world differently from 
       other people. Unfortunately, this difference sometimes got
       in the way of his success. Early on, as he attempted to 
       apply his unique perspective to a series of career 
       opportunities in order to gain riches! fame! glory! he 
       instead suffered one failure after another. Then, while 
       writing a book about economics, Will's innovative vision 
       inspired an idea that would set him apart: he created the 
       first modern line graph. Next came a bar graph and later a
       pie chart. These infographic inventions provided a way for
       numbers to be seen as pictures, which made them easier to 
       understand and to remember --- and thus changed the way 
       the world would interact with data forever"--|cAmazon.com.
