Edward Tufte is a provocative thinker about information design and visual literacy. Anyone involved in the visual communication of information (educators, graphic artists, marketers, health professionals who educate patients) should familiarize themselves with his ideas. Beautiful Evidence, published in 2006, includes his renowned and devastating critique of PowerPoint presentations; the book deserves to be widely read for that chapter alone.

Questions to Live With

"Nye's book addresses many of the issues and debates surrounding our highly textured technological society, and these are reflected in the questions he asks. Does technology control us? Does it lead to cultural uniformity or diversity? To sustainable abundance or to ecological crisis? To more security or escalating danger? The book is rich in examples, is easily readable and is short enough to be recommended for a day's read."
