Description
Summary:This documentary explores the role diagrams played in shaping two critical moments in history: Sir Isaac Newton's study of light and colour and Florence Nightingale's work bringing the atrocities of the Crimean war to light.

The second innovation covered in this film is the push for health reform that was characterised by Florence Nightingale's famous Rose Diagram.
