Information Anxiety (Book) [Feature]/[Promo]

Richard Saul Wurman calls himself an "information architect."  He has led most of his career by reorganizing information, and interpreting it differently.  He explains a lot of this in his book, Information Anxiety.  While the book is outdated (1989), the concepts he shares are still applicable to today's society.

He explains the difference between and conversion of facts and/to information.  He also talks about ways to solve problems, look at the world differently, and handle the tsunami of information available in today's Information Age.

While the book tends to be very boring, repetitive, and sometimes a resume of the author, the main themes are good and can really help those who read it, if they can weed through the garbage.
