Tufte Graphics Press, 2006 An enjoyable indictment Tufte makes a cogent case against PowerPoint in this sleek, catalog-sized volume, blaming it for, among other things, the Columbia disaster. He recommends paper handouts as an alternative for anyone presenting serious science, numbers-intensive business, or anything else requiring thought. Does he go a bit overboard? Certainly. But that's what makes the book fun rather than pedantic.

Surprise, it's CMD-T).

That being said; most of the changes are "under the hood" improvements to make everything much more efficient.

However, be alerted to the fact that you can buy the same book from iTunes for your iPhone or iPad for $4.99.             Presentation Zen163 reviews New Riders, 2008 The Antidote for Death By PowerPoint A great book that reminds every would-be presenter to keep it simple (stupid). Lots of real-world examples. If you have to give a presentation this is required reading. Having said that, it does not address handouts in detail (nor should it). Pages 66-67 are dedicated to basic dos and don'ts on handouts, but you'll need to look elsewhere for advice on that aspect.             PowerPoint 2007 For Dummies8 reviews Doug Lowe For Dummies, 2006 Happy I received the book by the day promised and in the condition promised.

Bucki Visual, 2006 It is So Easy! The "Teach Yourself Visually" books claim to be the "Fast and Easy" Way to Learn. I totally agree, I found that when I used one of their books and really learned the software I was spoiled. I got used to the way the books are set up; I love the full color pages and easy instructions with individual tasks. Sometimes I just need to remember how to do one little thing, and with other books I would ...             resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences Nancy Duarte Wiley, 2010 Reveals the underlying story form of all great presentations that will not only create impact, but will move people to action Presentations are meant to inform, inspire, and persuade audiences.
