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"-- Audience:  Elementary Grade. 820 Lexile.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 001.4226 Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Playfair Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList
