I have this book on myself. I have not read it in a while. But it is
meditation on the proper WAY to communicate factual information with
visuals. Lots of examples, both good and bad by the author's lights.
If you want or need to focus on making your information
understandable, it is as good a starting point for getting "in the
zone" as will be found. But it is a promotion of one man's mania for
proper use of visuals to convey facts. Drink the CoolAid and become
one with us...
