Die Schweiz in Bild und Zahl. Heute und vor 100 Jahren [Switzerland in Pictures and Numbers. Today and One Hundred Years Ago]

The book Die Schweiz in Bild und Zahl (Switzerland in Pictures and Numbers) is an attempt to compare Switzerland’s past to its present in around fifty comparative infographics that address a variety of topics. In the book, the authors juxtapose the history of the last hundred years in visually rendered statistics and illustrative images. Ultimately, Viktor Goebel and Thomas Schulz unearth some astonishing findings about Switzerland, such as the huge divergence in life expectancy between Swiss men and women from the past to the present.
